The aim of the Baku City Tour is to show you all the important interesting sites, and buildings of Baku and to create a nice luxury image of the city in your mind. Baku City tour is very helpful to explore the modern and ancient part of the city life.
The first destination of the Baku City tour is Nizami Street which is a large pedestrian and shopping street in downtown Baku, Azerbaijan, named after classical poet Nizami Ganjavi. The street’s history could be traced back to Baku’s town-planning project of 1864. The street runs through the city’s downtown from west to east. It begins from Abdulla Shaiq Street, in the mountainous part of the city and ends at a railroad bed on Sabit Orujov Street. The total length of the street is 3,538 m.
The traffic-free segment, which begins at the Fountains Square and ends at the Rashid Behbudov Street, is commonly known as Torgovaya (“the merchant street” in Russian).
Nizami Street is home to various outlets, from banks to fashion stores, and is one of the most expensive streets in the world.
Baku Boulevard (also known as National Park) is a promenade established in 1909 which runs parallel to Baku’s seafront. It is the second-largest in Europe after the park located in Paris alongside Seine River. The park is very popular among tourists as well as locals of Baku to walk and enjoy the beauties of the city and sea.
Azerbaijan Carpet Museum displays Azerbaijani carpets and rug items of various weaving techniques and materials from various periods. It has the largest collection of Azerbaijani carpets in the world. It moved to a new building on the Baku’s seafront park in 2014 from its former location on Neftchiler Avenue.
Little Venice is one of the most beautiful sections of the Seaside National Park in Baku.
This small town within the city, reminiscent of Italy’s Venice, adds a special beauty to the capital of Azerbaijan with its stunning canals and architecture. Little Venice was constructed as part of the Baku Boulevard in the 1960s and has become a favorite holiday destination for Baku citizens and guests of the city.

It is located in the Inner City of Baku, Azerbaijan, and, together with the Maiden Tower, forms an ensemble of historic monuments inscribed under the UNESCO World Heritage List of Historical Monuments.

As one of the best sights of the Baku City Tour is Baku’s Upland Park which is the highest point in the Azerbaijani capital, opening a panoramic view of the city and its bay. The city’s residents and visitors often come here to see a bird’s eye view of Baku and just have a walk. The Upland Park can be reached by cable railway (funicular) in 7-8 minutes from the boulevard, by climbing up the endless stone stairs or just by car.
At the top of the park, there are located the country’s parliament building, the alley of martyrs, and the world-famous symbol of modern Baku, the Flame Towers. This park is a beautiful corner of Baku and is considered one of the most interesting places in our city’s guests.
