The first stop will be the Heydar Aliyev Center — one of the most recognizable architectural masterpieces in Baku, designed by the legendary architect Zaha Hadid. The building impresses with its flowing, futuristic form and is considered a symbol of modern Azerbaijan.
Inside, you will find various exhibitions dedicated to the history, culture, and development of the country, as well as temporary art projects and installations. A special highlight is the classic car exhibition, where rare and elegant models from past eras are displayed.

The light stone facade, elegant minarets, and spacious prayer hall create a sense of solemnity and peace. Richly decorated interiors with fine carvings, ornaments, and calligraphy emphasize the spiritual atmosphere of this place. Such locations allow visitors to better understand the traditions and religion of the country, enriching the experience of excursions in Azerbaijan.
During the tour, a lunch stop is provided (at an additional cost), where you can try traditional dishes of Azerbaijani cuisine. The menu includes two kinds of kutabs, rice, a selection of kebabs (lyulya kebab, lamb, and chicken), fresh tomato and cucumber salad, bread, a drink (cola or Fanta), and aromatic tea as a finishing touch. This meal not only restores your energy but also introduces you to national flavours.
The next stop of the route is Highland Park — the highest panoramic viewpoint of the capital, offering an impressive view of the city center and Baku Bay. This is one of the most scenic places, ideal for peaceful walks and photography, where you can see the main attractions from above.

Within this stop, you will visit Little Venice, where canals, bridges, and gondolas create the atmosphere of a European city.
