In this tour, you will have a change to get to know modern parts of Baku and learn how the city and country have developed in the past few years to become "Dubai of Caucasus". Tour covers Seaside Boulevard, Mugham Center, Carpet Museum, "Venice of Baku", view of Flag Square, Crystal Hall, Flame Towers, Heydar Aliyev Center and Fountain Square. The tour includes entrance fees to the museums and transportation to the Heydar Aliyev Center by private car/minivan.
Tour starts at the exit of Icharishahar. We will utilize private car to reach to our first stop: Heydar Aliyev Center, dedicated to former president of Azerbaijan and created by American-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid who was famous for her strangely-shaped, interesting buildings in all over the world. Trump Tower which is also located nearby has become a forsaken building after the president of the US ended his licensing contracts in Azerbaijan.
Our second stop, the Fountain Square, was one of the first ever parks created in Azerbaijan and was full of mansions of oil magnates. It's located in the central street of Baku and was called "Torgovaya", translated as the trading street. Until 90s this street was full of merchants trading souvenirs, vintage accessories and clothings.
Little Venice, restored into a new grand look, will be our third stop. It's not a long stop, but a view of the small oasis in Baku Boulevard.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
