Next, stroll down to the famous Baku Boulevard, home to modern cultural landmarks like the Mugham Center and the National Carpet Museum, whose exterior is shaped like a rolled-up carpet. Just nearby is Little Venice, a charming area of canals and gondolas that feels straight out of Europe.
Step back in time as you enter Cherisher, Baku’s Old City. This UNESCO-listed heritage site is one of the oldest inhabited parts of Azerbaijan. Wander the cobbled alleys past the Maiden Tower and Palace of the Shirvanshahs, soaking in centuries of history.
