You can see both the Old City and the New City, which are key attractions in Baku, and we'll also take the funicular in between. The guide was very kind and helpful.

Had a fantastic experience on the Baku–Khinaliq & Candy Cane Mountain Full-Day Tour. The tour was well organized, with convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off. Our guide, Mr. Murad, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable throughout the nearly 12-hour journey. The drive to Khinaliq Village was the highlight of the tour—the mountain views along the way were simply breathtaking. Most of the attractions in the itinerary were covered, making it an excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

What to know before visiting Baku

Quick snapshot of Baku and what draws visitors

Baku’s Klook bookings are led by tours, with cruises and indoor experiences also showing up among the top categories, so visitors tend to mix city sightseeing with some waterside and sheltered activities. Demand fluctuates through the year, with a clear high season in early summer and quieter pockets in late summer and autumn.

Best months to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, June is the busiest month while August sees the weakest demand. Prices move independently of demand at times: the priciest month on record is October, whereas the cheapest month seen in Klook data is June. For lower prices and lighter crowds, consider travelling in August or other trough months; for peak-season atmosphere choose June when the city is busiest, though note that October has historically shown higher prices.

Tips for travellers

Because this summary covers travellers from across the world, plan with flexibility: most Baku experiences on Klook are typically booked a day or two ahead, and many can be arranged at short notice. If you prefer to lock in plans, consider booking about a week in advance—especially during June when demand peaks. Use Klook to compare tour and cruise options and secure activities that match your preferred pace.
