Baku

The unity of modern architecture with ancient Icherisheher

Experience the perfect blend of ancient history and modern architecture in Azerbaijan's vibrant capital city

About Baku

Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a fascinating city where East meets West, tradition meets modernity, and history comes alive. Built on the shores of the Caspian Sea, this ancient city has evolved into a modern metropolis while preserving its rich cultural heritage.

The city's skyline is dominated by the iconic Flame Towers, three skyscrapers that symbolize the country's oil wealth and modern ambitions. Yet, at its heart lies Icherisheher (Old City), a UNESCO World Heritage site that has been inhabited for over 2,000 years.

From the winding alleys of the Old City to the wide boulevards of the modern center, from traditional tea houses to contemporary art galleries, Baku offers visitors an unforgettable journey through time and culture.
