Explore the cultural heart of Azerbaijan on a guided walking tour through Icherisheher, the UNESCO-listed Old City of Baku. This compact medieval quarter preserves more than a thousand years of history, where stone alleys, fortress walls and hidden courtyards reveal the true spirit of the capital.
During the tour you will walk along ancient defensive walls, discover narrow labyrinth streets once seen in famous films, and observe everyday life inside the Old City — locals playing backgammon, artisans at work, and historic houses still inhabited today. You will visit Baku’s most iconic landmarks, including the mysterious Maiden Tower, a symbol of the city wrapped in legends, and the majestic Palace of the Shirvanshahs, the former royal residence of medieval rulers with its mosque, mausoleum and bathhouse complex.

The experience also includes stops at unique museums and art spaces, such as traditional ceramic workshops and the world-famous Miniature Books Museum. Along the way, your guide shares stories of rulers, merchants, architects and everyday residents who shaped Baku’s character.
This Old City walking tour is ideal for travelers seeking history, architecture, local culture and authentic atmosphere in a short time. A perfect introduction to Baku and an essential experience for first-time visitors, culture lovers and city explorers.
