Baku Night Tour: From Upland Park To Heydar Aliyev Center – Absheron, Azerbaijan

EXPERIENCE

Begin your journey in Baku’s Old City with a cozy restaurant serving traditional Azerbaijani meals. Enjoy national cuisine, tea, and Baklava while listening to live folk music and enjoying the view of Icherisheher. Afterward, board a comfortable bus to explore one of Baku’s most beautiful spots.

The first sightseeing stop is Upland Park, a key cultural spot in Baku. Located at the top of the city’s business center, this park offers stunning views of the entire city and the sea. Walking through its alleys, learn about its historical significance and events. Once on the viewing platform, the dazzling lights of Baku and its skyscrapers create an unforgettable scene. Established in the early 20th century, it remains a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Baku Boulevard is vast and beautiful, but during the evening tour, focus on one of its most charming sections: Little Venice. Styled as a replica of Italy’s Venice, this area offers a serene walk along the water. Hear stories about Baku’s history and culture while admiring its beauty in the late evening.

Baku is home to architectural marvels, and one of the most impressive is the Government House. Situated near Baku Boulevard, this building’s construction began during the Stalin era. It combines Azerbaijani motifs with classical architecture. The 16-year effort to build it was worth it—its beauty leaves a lasting impression.

Designed by the famous architect Zaha Hadid, the Heydar Aliyev Center won the “Best Architectural Design on the Planet” in 2014. This marvel, along with its surrounding park, is a highlight of Baku’s modern architecture. During the tour, your guide will tell the story of Heydar Aliyev, the center’s significance, and Zaha Hadid’s genius. This tour ends with a relaxing ride through the city’s illuminated streets before returning to your hotel.
