With mountain views, fresh air, and vibrant local culture, this is one of the most picturesque and culturally rich tours from Baku.

Overview

Step into the heart of Azerbaijan’s cultural and historical heritage with a journey to Shamakhi and Lahij—two destinations that beautifully reflect the soul of the Caucasus. Begin with Shamakhi, one of the oldest cities in the country and a former royal capital. Here, you’ll explore the elegant Juma Mosque, one of the earliest mosques in the Caucasus, and witness the serene beauty of the Seven Domes mausoleum, resting place of Shirvan’s royal family.

Famous for its copper workshops, handmade souvenirs, and preserved medieval streets, Lahij feels like an open-air museum.
