Baku is a stop worth making a special stop in the City of the Wind. For 2 days and 1 night, between the Old Town and the Tower of Fire, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Baku.
The first impression Baku gives is almost always from the old city. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Baku, locals usually mention the Tower of Fire first. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire segment of life.
The Caspian Sea hides another side of Baku. With less crowd from tourists and more everyday warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of these people.
If you have the energy, go visit the oil market. There are no standard answers there, only your own rhythm, perfectly filling your itinerary.
Baku taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as the old city taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look carefully.
