Top Things To Do

Azerbaijan

• Explore the fabulous Içeri Seher, the walled old city of Baku. The narrow streets, the old mansions and the myriad mosques make this the most authentic experience of Baku before the oil boom of the 20th century created the modern city.

• Climb the multiple spiral staircases inside Maiden's Tower, which overlooks the Caspian in the Içeri Seher, and be privy to a stunning 360-degree view of the city.

• Visit the enchantingly weird mud volcanoes of Qobustan and see the astonishing nearby Stone and Bronze Age petroglyphs all on a day trip from Baku.

• Discover Sheki, one of Azerbaijan's most beautiful towns, set in the mountains and with a large number of well-preserved mosques and caravanserais from the 18th century.

• Join spiritual Azeris on a climb up Beshbarmaq Dag (Five Finger Mountain), which rises dramatically 520m above the coast and is one of Azerbaijan's most holy animist sites.
