About this experience
On a leisurely stroll, you will see the main attractions of the Old Town: Maiden Tower, Juma Mosque, Shirvanshahs' Palace, and more. I will share the history of Azerbaijan — you will learn about traditions and culture, about the people of Baku from different eras. And then we will proceed to taste the national cuisine: choose what you would like to try.
