长脸张少侠The Girls' Tower is located in the center of Baku Old Town, next to the seafront, and is part of the 12th century Khan King's Palace complex. The tower is 27 meters high and is 8-story cylindrical, each floor can accommodate more than 50 people. There is a well in it, and the water is cool and luscious in all seasons. There are defenses on every window of the tower. Hot melted lead can be poured, or burning oil torches to resist the attack of foreign enemies. The tower also endured the earthquake of 1304, many residential houses were razed, it is safe. The origin of the tower name is different. Once upon a time there was a pair of lovers, rich women and poor men, the girl's father did not agree with the marriage, and put the girl in the tower. The girl jumped into the choppy Caspian Sea under the tower in order to show her loyalty to love, and the young man also showed his love. Another is that this tower protected countless girls from foreign enemies in the war, so they got this beautiful name.

4. Palace of the Shirvanshahs
5.220 ReviewsKaren晓喵The palace of the Silvansha is located at the highest point of Baku Old Town, built in the 15th century and is a shining pearl in the history of Azerbaijani architecture. The main entrance of the palace is decorated with a gate building, located on the west side of the palace, and the stairs of the gate building lead to the high octagonal hall of the dome. In 2000, the Palace of the Silvansha was included in the World Heritage List along with the old town of Baku.Baku72m from Baku Old Town
5. Heydar Aliyev Centre
5.219 Reviewsbased on 2.5k reviews长脸张少侠The Aliyev Cultural Center, built in May 2012, is a classic work by the late pioneer architect Zaha Hadid. It is a landmark in Baku city and even country. The Cultural Center was pre-opened on May 10, 2012 under the auspices of the current President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. The building is also named after the current President. The Aliyev Cultural Center is both a modern translation of Islamic architectural temperament and a rebellion against rigid Soviet-era architecture. Like a magic wand-wielding wizard, Zaha blends Islamic culture, natural forms and pioneering art, creating a huge array of folds and open spaces that connect with the urban environment. The high completion of Aliyev Cultural Center also makes Zaha her theoretic works. The Azerbaijani government allocated $6 billion a year to build public buildings, and after Zaha won the international competition, the abundant funds gave architects a high degree of creative freedom, so that the design and construction of the cultural center is less affected by external factors. Strong economic support ensures the project’s difficult, high-quality and high completion, and allows us to see the orderly facade of the Aliyev Cultural Center today, the transparent and clean curtain wall, and the exquisite and stable structure. Standing on the square and looking at the Aliyev Cultural Center, it seems that a gray-white concrete plane is peeled off the ground and expanded into two peaks, with the surface expanding, splitting, flowing and rising in the air. In the clear topology of the site, the building itself is an explosive node, with its climax at the 80 m roof top. Zaha's first work in China was the Guangzhou Grand Theatre , Beijing Galaxy SOHO complex, Nanjing Youth Olympic Center, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Building and Beijing Daxing International Airport. Address: 1 Heyd?r ?liyev prospekti, Bak? 1033 Azerbaijan Time: 11:00-18:00 Monday off, in fact, the main look is the English name: Heydar Aliyev CentreBaku4.4km from Baku Old Town
6. Mud Volcanoes
4.3No reviews yet , 3 Trip Momentbased on 233 reviews
被戳破的泡泡After entering the large game scene breakfast through the mobile phone screen, I followed the team to the Baku mud volcano group to play, and I saw the Fire Mountain in Xinjiang before, which was super hot. I heard that the mud volcano is also an active volcanic group, and thought it would be as hot as Xinjiang Fire Mountain, but after arriving there, I saw a very wonderful landscape. Highlights: Mud volcano although it is a volcano, but it looks a bit like a mud pit, because of the volcanic properties, the mud pit will bubbling, it looks a bit like a witch-made soup... Mud volcano most of the time is calm, the tour guide said calm time can even reach into the mud. Because of the volcano, the surrounding geology has undergone a huge change, plus the mud volcano is formed by the mud and volcanic gas jet accumulation, with a unique shape, it looks like a game screen, a blockbuster feeling, as if I suddenly entered the game field from the mobile phone screen view. In general, Baku, this mud volcano group, is a very unique place, a very novel experience, friends who like to explore and photography should not miss it. TIPS: 1. The mud volcano is only open in summer and autumn. Friends who want to go are best to go in these two seasons. 2. There are other attractions far from the ancient city of Baku. It is recommended to book a day trip online or drive by yourself. 3. Very suitable for photography enthusiastsBaku55.1km from Baku Old TownFree
7. National Museum of History of Azerbaijan
4.814 Reviews
风筝爱旅行The National Museum of History in Azerbaijan is small and in a very humble building. I am interested in how it functions to document the development of the country, especially the war and contradictions with Armenia, and the relations with Russia, Turkey and China. The first map of the exhibition is quite meaningful, sworn in sovereignty over the disputed territories of Aya. This makes me look forward to going to the National Museum of Armenia next, what kind of voice? This may be one of the charms of the museum.Baku610m from Baku Old Town
8. Fountains Square
4.524 Reviewsbased on 1.1k reviewsKaren晓喵The fountain square is located on the east side of the intersection of Independence Avenue and Azerbaijan Avenue in the center of Baku, just outside the northeast corner of Baku Old Town. The greening of the fountain square is one of the best in the Transcaucasian Capital Square. The square is quite large and there are more than ten groups of fountains throughout the square. The hotel we stayed in was nearby and it was also the only way to go to the old town.Baku583m from Baku Old TownFree
9. Flame Towers
4.46 Reviewsbased on 1.7k reviews长脸张少侠【Fire Tower】Baku Flame Towers Modern urban style luxury residential project, composed of three independent skyscrapers in the shape of flames, the whole project cost about $350 million. Typical landmark buildings continue the historical imprint of the city and integrate the latest international architectural elements. This unique and innovative design is inspired by Baku's historical nickname, "City of Fire", which worships the temple of fire and the constant fires all show the local people's worship of the source of fire since ancient times. The tower is located on the hilly hill near the port in the city center. The height of the three dynamic flame buildings is different, each loaded with different performances: the location of the main building (theatre building) enjoys the highest view of the city, and it is clearly visible from different angles of the city. It can be said that it is the first gathering point in Baku. Mainly high-end office buildings and large commercial centers; on the south side is a 190-meter luxury residential building, which is also the highest of the three buildings. The 130 luxury suites are proportionally divided into 39 floors inside. The excellent viewing angle of the city bay adds beautiful colors to each set of mansions. The flame tower in the north corner is fully taken over by Fairmont Group, the world's top hotel chain, and 318 luxury rooms have been set up on 36 floors.

10. Upland Park

卡斯别克的雪花Standing on the heights of the city and looking at the Caspian Sea in the distance, the attractions above the mountain are also worth seeing. There are rug cars to come up, but I personally think it is better to go up and see it! Over the whole city, three flame buildings are right next to youBaku1.1km from Baku Old Town
