Full Day Baku & Absheron
A complete Baku day: the Old City and modern landmarks in the morning, then the fire temple of Ateshgah and the burning hillside of Yanar Dag.
- 9 hours
- 30 km from Baku
- 1–4 guests, private
- Hotel pickup included
A complete Baku experience in one private day. In the morning we walk through the Old City and stop at the viewpoints and modern landmarks of the capital. After lunch we drive out to the Absheron Peninsula for Azerbaijan’s fire heritage: the Ateshgah Fire Temple and Yanar Dag, where natural gas flames burn on the hillside.
A good choice if you have one day and want both the city and the “Land of Fire”.

Good to know
Entrance tickets are paid on site. Ateshgah and Yanar Dag together cost roughly $9 per person. Yanar Dag looks most dramatic after sunset, so in winter the timing works especially well.
