Best Things to do in Baku, Azerbaijan

I didn’t know what to expect visiting Azerbaijan, but Baku has become one of my favorite cities! It’s incredibly modern, easy to get around, lots of things to do, and amazing food. Here are my favorite things to do in Baku!

Heydar Aliyev Center

Famed for its modern architecture, this building is a must-see in Baku!

Azerbaijan Carpet Museum

I’m normally not a huge fan of museums, but this one was quite interesting to learn about the history of carpet-weaving in this region of the world.

Flame Towers

Head to the park for the best view of all of Baku and, of course, the flame towers!

Atashgah Zoroastrianism Fire

A fascinating religion from this part of the world, this shrine is a must-visit to understand the origins of the culture.
