About this experience
Cycling along the boulevards, squares, and old streets of Baku is the best way to explore the city not only from the outside, but also from the inside: delve into colorful non-touristy areas, stop for tea at a cozy cafe, and capture the rhythm of the capital of Azerbaijan. In 4 hours, you will get acquainted with the most significant landmarks of Baku, touch local legends and traditions, learn about the Baku way of life, and admire the whole city from a bird's eye view.
