Begin your tour at the Heydar Aliyev Center, one of Baku’s most recognizable modern landmarks. Its flowing white curves, open spaces, and minimalist architecture create an exceptional setting for creative, architectural, and lifestyle photographs.

Continue to the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, designed in the shape of a rolled carpet and located beside the Caspian Sea. Photograph its unique exterior before entering the museum to discover Azerbaijan’s rich carpet-weaving heritage. The entrance ticket to the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum is included and arranged by the activity provider.

Next, visit Victory Park and the 8 November Memorial, where monumental architecture, strong geometric lines, and symbolic design provide a powerful contemporary background for photographs.

At Taza Pir Mosque, admire the elegant façade, golden architectural details, stone carvings, and peaceful atmosphere. This stop offers excellent opportunities for symmetrical compositions and detailed architectural shots.

Explore the atmospheric streets of Old City, also known as Icherisheher, a UNESCO-listed historic district filled with ancient stone walls, traditional balconies, narrow passages, arches, and hidden courtyards. From selected viewpoints, you can capture the striking contrast between historic Baku and the modern Flame Towers.

Continue to Highland Park, one of the best panoramic viewpoints in the city. From here, photograph the Caspian Sea, Baku Boulevard, the Flame Towers, and the city skyline from above.

Conclude your tour at the beautiful Bibi-Heybat Mosque, where Islamic architecture, the surrounding landscape, and warm evening light create a memorable final setting for the tour.
