The scenery on 5 Manat comes alive! The most asked question about the one-day trip to Baku! A dreamlike combination of history and geological wonders✨

Dear babies! Don't miss this one-day tour of Baku's highlights when traveling to Azerbaijan! The perfect combination of historical monuments and geological wonders allows you to unlock a variety of stunning experiences in one day, and the nine-square grid in your circle of friends is simply not enough to post! ! Depart from Baku city early in the morning and head straight to the old city of Baku as the first stop. Stepping into this thousand-year-old ancient city is like traveling through a time tunnel! The Maiden Tower is a must-see landmark, and it is Azerbaijan’s “national business card”. On the Azerbaijan 5 Manat banknote, this 27-meter-high cylindrical building is prominently printed on the front, showing its importance! The tower is full of mysterious legends. It is said that it was once the place where the princess looked at her lover. Now it stands quietly, witnessing the changes of time. Climb to the top of the tower, and you can have a panoramic view of the Caspian Sea and the old city. Every photo you take will be a blockbuster with built-in filters! Turning the corner, you will see the Palace of the Shirvanshahs. The Islamic-style dome and exquisite relief murals, every detail tells the glorious history of Azerbaijan. The cultural relics in the treasure house are even more eye-catching. It is recommended to reserve 2-3 hours to stroll around. The cobblestone streets, colorful windows, and corner cafes in the old city are full of surprises! Then we will drive to the mysterious Gobustan Rock Paintings, where the rock paintings are tens of thousands of years old! The densely packed patterns record the hunting and sacrificial scenes of the ancients, as if they were communicating with ancient civilizations. The tour guide will also share the stories behind the rock paintings. It turns out that the ancients had already turned their lives into art. Don’t rush to leave after visiting the rock paintings, because there are shocking mud volcanoes nearby! The mud is bubbling, like the earth is breathing. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you know what the "real version of the surface of Mars" is. Touching the warm mud and taking photos with the unique landforms is definitely the coolest experience of the trip! Throughout the whole day, I was immersed in the rich history and culture, and was amazed by the wonders of nature! It’s super worry-free to charter a car for the entire journey, and the driver will also act as a "tour guide" to introduce the attractions. This route is really suitable for all travel enthusiasts, just go for it!
