COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE

There is so many sights to see in Azerbaijan, especially Baku, that you’ll need a well-planned Baku itinerary to help you maximize your time.

Here is what just might be the perfect Baku city tour.

From Highland Park you can take the cable car down to the city to visit the famous Carpet Museum. If you are looking for totally unique places to visit in Azerbaijan, this is it!

The Carpet Museum

Due to this association with fire, these three dramatic and imposing skyscrapers have become a symbol of Azerbaijan. They are built in the shape of a flame, hence the name.

The Flame Towers

It fronts the Caspian Sea and is dotted by parks, an enormous Ferris wheel and bike rental stations (5 manat/hr). Throughout the day and evening the local residents stroll the Bulvar and enjoy the sea air.

The Boulevard

The iconic building itself is the star here.  Designed by world-renowned Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid and named for the president of Azerbaijan from 1993 to 2003, the complex was completed in 2012.

Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center

Here is where you can get a real feel for the country; what things cost, what people eat; the locals’ daily interactions. In Baku the market to go to is the Yasil Bazar.

Yasil Bazar

This graceful, cream-colored mosque appears deceivingly understated on the outside. But once inside you are greeted with a kaleidoscope of colors from the light streaming in through the stain glass windows.
