In the evening, we depart from our hotel and head to İçeri Şehir (Old Town), the historic heart of Baku. On this walking tour within this unique area listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, we have the opportunity to closely see narrow stone streets, historical caravanserais, and medieval architecture. During the tour, we view Maiden Tower, Shirvanshahs' Palace, and the historic city walls panoramically, and gain information about Baku's historical and cultural fabric alongside our guide's commentary. After photo stops, we visit Nizami (Targovi) Street, reminiscent of Istanbul's Istiklal Avenue. Targovi, one of the city's most lively and popular areas, is the center of Baku's social life with its shops, boutique stores, cafes, and restaurants. Thanks to its elegant buildings reflecting 19th-century European architecture and its vibrant atmosphere, it is an ideal spot for both shopping and pleasant walks. Alongside street artists and sparkling shop windows, we have the opportunity to get to know Baku's modern face up close. Later, we move to Dağüstü Park, one of Baku's best viewpoints. After viewing Martyrs' Lane, Turkish Martyrs' Cemetery, and Flame Towers, we take unforgettable photos while observing the Caspian Sea, Baku Boulevard, and the city's modern silhouette panoramically. Continuing our program, we experience the Azerbaijan Night at a traditional restaurant where you can savor exquisite flavors of Azerbaijani cuisine accompanied by live music. This program, blending traditional rhythms, local flavors, and Baku's enchanting night atmosphere, will be one of the most unforgettable moments of your journey. Transfer back to our hotel at the end of the program.

Extra Tour: Absheron Peninsula Tour – 70 Euro per person
We begin our tour with the Absheron Peninsula. Our first stop is the Ateshgah Temple, one of the three Zoroastrian fire temples in the world. This sacred structure, historically accepted as a pilgrimage center for followers of Zoroastrianism, captivates visitors with its impressive architecture, spacious courtyard, and mystical atmosphere. Then, we visit Yanardag, one of Azerbaijan's most fascinating natural formations, which Marco Polo called the "Land of Fire." We closely observe the fires that have burned continuously for centuries due to natural gas emerging from underground, take unique photos, and experience firsthand why Azerbaijan is called the "Land of Fires." This tour, where nature, history, and legends converge, is one of Azerbaijan's most impressive experiences.

Our first stop is Gobustan National Park, located approximately 60 km south of Baku and listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Then, we move to the Mud Volcanoes region, one of Azerbaijan's world-famous geological riches. With about 300 of the approximately 700 mud volcanoes in the world located in Azerbaijan, the country is one of the geographies where this natural wonder is most concentrated. In fact, geologists working on Mars at NASA have noted that the formations in this area resemble certain areas on the Martian surface. In the area where the volcanoes are located, we closely observe hot mud outlets and gas bubbles, and receive detailed information from our guide about the region's formation, geological structure, and historical importance. After our visit to Gobustan, we turn our route to the Haydar Aliyev Cultural Center, the symbol of modern Azerbaijan. Designed by the world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, this unique structure is one of Baku's most important symbols with its fluid architecture. Inside the center, there are not only cultural and art exhibitions but also a classic car collection that attracts great interest from visitors. You can closely see and photograph carefully restored Soviet classic cars ranging from the 1940s to the 1970s, rare models such as Volga, Moskvich, and Chaika from the USSR era, official state vehicles used in state protocol, and vintage cars with high collectible value. This section offers a very impressive experience for classic car enthusiasts and nostalgia lovers.
