Trade routine for fire temples, carpet bazaars and a Caspian waterfront lined with Belle Époque mansions and glass towers on this 5-night, 6-day journey through Baku
Gobustan's prehistoric rock carvings and the Gabala cable car give this five-night Baku trip a reach well beyond the capital. Day runs climb into the Caucasus foothills to Nohur Lake and the Red Village of Qusar, while the city itself holds the Old City, Highland Park and the Caspian front.
Where The Days Go
The plan opens with Highland Park and the Alley of Martyrs over the bay, then heads out to the Red Village around Qusar, the Gobustan petroglyphs and rock-art museum, and a cable-car day at Gabala finishing at Nohur Lake. Five nights in one four-star Baku base keep the trip unpacked while the excursions range across the country.
Good To Know
Visa assistance is arranged ahead and breakfast comes daily. Azerbaijani plates anchor the eating, plov heaped with rice, stuffed dolma, crisp qutab flatbreads and the pomegranate notes that run through the local kitchen.
