Next, walk to the nearby Alley of Martyrs, a memorial to the civilians killed by the Soviet Army during Black January in 1990. This gruesome massacre is commemorated today with a national day of mourning.

From the terrace of Highland Park, the highest point of the city, you will have the best view of Baku. Baku will look especially radiant by the twinkling lights of the urban expanse.

DAY 2

After breakfast at the hotel, drive to the Ateshgah Fire Temple in Surakhani village. The present structure was built centuries ago around naturally burning flames that Zoroastrians once worshipped. The site then became an important pilgrimage site for fire-worshipping Hindus.

You will then drive to the State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve. One of the hills within the reserve sits atop a natural gas well and features a constantly burning wall of flames. These natural flames were described by Marco Polo in the 13th century and still fascinate visitors today.

Next, visit the Gala State Historical Ethnographic Reserve. This open-air museum contains numerous buildings modeled after those from the 10th century. Not only will you get a glimpse into the way of life of previous generations, but you'll also have the opportunity to practice traditional methods by baking bread in an outdoor clay oven, weaving a rug, and participating in a pottery workshop.

Afterwards, enjoy a lunch of typical Azerbaijani specialties at a local restaurant.

After lunch drive to Icherisheher, the historic old town. Archeological excavations have uncovered numerous ancient structures, including burial vaults from the Bronze Age. In addition to various mosques, ancient baths and remains of caravanserais, you will visit the 12th century Maiden's Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, which was built over several centuries. For those who would like to shop in the Old City, you will find that scarves, tableware and handmade carpets are amongst the most popular items.

Return to your hotel for some free time and later in the day meet up with your guide again for a visit to Old Town. Walk through Philharmonic Park, formerly known as the Governor's Garden, and up the hill to the Azerbaijan State Academic Philharmonic. The French Baroque-style fountain in front of the park is an excellent photo opportunity.

Dinner follows at the Shirvanshah Museum Restaurant. Enjoy a hands-on cooking class where you will sample gutab - the national dish which consists of flatbread fried on a griddle and stuffed with various local ingredients.

DAY 3

After breakfast at the hotel, head to the Gobustan State Historical and Cultural Reserve. UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage Site for its thousands of ancient rock engravings, some of which are 40,000 years old. The reserve is also home to numerous caves and cone-shaped mud volcanoes, which are formed when a muddy slurry erupts from the earth's surface.

Enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants. On the way back to Baku, for contrast, see the Heydar Aliyev Center, a stunning example of 21st Century fluid architecture. Its sinuous forms and undulating curves seem to change as you view it from different angles. Few cultural centers are as memorable and breathtaking. After pausing to take photos at the "I Love Baku" sign, continue on your way.

Continue on to Yashil Bazaar, the largest bazaar in Baku. As you meander through the seemingly endless stalls, you will discover goods such as Caspian caviar, seasonal fruits, freshly ground spices and other items from the region. The bazaar also offers an authentic glimpse into daily life and is a wonderful place to people-watch.

Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
