Things to do in Baku

An unforgettable Bosphorus sunset experience! The Bosphorus Sunset Tour in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of my trip. Watching the city transform as the sun slowly dipped behind the skyline was nothing short of magical. The blend of soft golden light reflecting off the water, the silhouettes of centuries-old palaces, and the call to prayer echoing across the strait created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to enjoy the views from all angles. The crew were friendly, professional,and there is an audio guide available, from the Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower and the impressive bridges connecting Europe and Asia. One of my favorite moments was cruising past the waterfront mansions and watching the city lights begin to shimmer as night approached. It felt peaceful, romantic, and incredibly scenic. It’s the perfect way to experience the city’s beauty, history, and charm all at once. Highly recommended! ⸻

Special thanks to Murad, our knowledgeable and entertaining guide, who is very good at jokes. The journey was a full-day tour, and everything was top-notch due to the itinerary. Everything included made it a very good tour.

Our trip was started on very positive vibe because the guide Mr Adil knew a lot about Azerbaijan history, culture and food,and it was really helpful for us.Since journey was long he kept us entertained by singing and dancing with us.He is a very optimistic person.Firstbee saw candy cane mountain,guba jewish village,then we stopped for backlava and tasty lunch,we also stopped at picturesque Gechresh forest which was very beautiful.Next we went shadag,then did off-road journey to laza waterfall.Back in shahdag we went for thrilling roller ride and zip line.It was a memorable day and we saw Jewish synagogue and river that separated Jewish and Muslim world.Overall I highly recommend this tour.

the tour was amazing! Naz was very kind to tell us things about the locations and such a charming lady. the drive was safe as well that we fell asleep. Will definitely recommend to anyone planning to travel outside Baku. Shahdag, we will be back!!

Our one-day tour to Shahdag and the Candy Cane Mountains was incredible, all thanks to our guide, Yusif. His knowledge about the history and geology of the area was impressive, and his friendly and professional manner made the day seamless and enjoyable. He perfectly timed the visit for the best views and photos. Highly recommend requesting Yusif for an unforgettable experience!

Today I joined the Azerbaijan Best Nature Tour from Baku, covering Gabala, Nohur Lake, the Seven Beauties Waterfall, and the Shamaki Tufandag Resort. It was a full day of discovering some of the country’s most beautiful natural and leisure spots. Nohur Lake offered calm and scenic views, the Seven Beauties Waterfall was refreshing and worth the climb, and the Tufandag Resort provided a modern, well-organized space to relax with mountain surroundings. Our guide, Kamran, made the experience stand out. He was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, sharing insights about each place while keeping the day smooth and enjoyable. His energy and organization ensured that the trip was not only well-paced but also engaging throughout. Overall, this was an excellent Sunday getaway from Baku ... a perfect balance of nature, relaxation, and adventure. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see Azerbaijan beyond the city, especially with Kamran as a guide.
