Baku is a vibrant metropolis and capital of Azerbaijan. It holds the distinction of being the largest city on the Caspian Sea. Wander around Icharishahar or the old city, a UNESCO world heritage site featuring cobblestone streets, ancient monuments, palace complex, and fortressed walls. Visit the iconic Maiden Tower, one of Azerbaijan’s national symbols, the tower is a 12th-century building situated in the heart of the old town offering sweeping views of the city from the top. Marvel at the grandeur of Bibi Heybat, a grand mosque with three domes decorated with turquoise and green mirrors bordered with inscriptions from the Quran. Relish on Azerbaijan’s food: Dolma, minced meat with rice and spices or Naz Qovurma, a lamb stew or Dushbara - dumplings in broth.
