Baku City Breaks

Visit Baku on a city break and discover a startlingly cosmopolitan and diverse city where flash cars slink past glinting skyscrapers and crumbling city walls, where mansions of the oil-rich rub shoulders with bleak Soviet architecture, and a youthful population hanging out in trendy cafés and green parks confound whatever expectations you had of a staunch, sandblasted Muslim country.

The pace of modernisation in Baku is astounding but its people are still fond of a history that stretches back to the Palaeolithic period and encompasses Persian, Arabian, Ottoman and Russian empires. This sense of heritage is none more exemplified than in the magnificently preserved “Icheri Sheher” (Old City), with its ancient buildings huddled over narrow alleyways bustling with activity and life. Glimmering landmarks such as the iconic Qiz Qalasi tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs brilliantly evoke Azerbaijan’s dynastic past, long before they ruled Eurovision!

A city break to Baku is at once a step into the past and a glimpse into the future.
