Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1 — Arrive Baku
Met at Heydar Aliyev airport and driven into the city, about 30 minutes. Check in and take the evening on the seaside boulevard, which runs for kilometres along the Caspian and is where the city walks after dark.
Day 2 — Old City and the modern city
The walled Old City on foot: the Maiden Tower, the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, the caravanserais and the lanes between them. In the afternoon the modern side, the Heydar Aliyev Centre with its curved white shell, and the Flame Towers lit after dark.
Day 3 — Gobustan and the mud volcanoes
An hour south to Gobustan, where the rock carvings run to thousands of figures cut over ten thousand years. The mud volcanoes are a rough track beyond it, small cones that bubble cold mud. Back in Baku by evening.
Day 4 — Absheron peninsula
North to the Ateshgah fire temple, built around a natural gas vent and used by traders from India who worshipped there, and then Yanar Dag, a hillside that has been alight for as long as anyone recorded it. Afternoon free.

Breakfast, then the transfer to Heydar Aliyev airport for your flight.
