The City Walls of Baku are in great condition considering that for most parts , they are alongside boutiques and restaurants without any special protection . We used the audio-guides available at the Tourist information office to get a good description of their origin and purposes .

Historians are not sure about the age and function of this tower-like structure. Was it part of city fortification? The tower is 28 m high and from the top is a nice view of the old city, new skyscrapers and the seashore boulevard. Inside is a museum with modern displays explaining the history of Baku. The entry is 15 AZN.

We visited the literature museum one afternoon. The staff seemed a little shell shocked that we went in but the visit was well worth taking your shoes off for the tour. The young guide was very well versed in the history and while simple the exhibits were beautifully displayed. The interior of the building is stunning. Well worth taking the time to visit. We learnt so much of the countries rich history.

Beautifully presented in a way that only oil money can achieve. Quite apart from the fact that a historically-significant building was removed to make way for this, the design seems antithetical to what is actually quite a serious museum. The contents are, quite simply, fabulous - an amazing collection of subtle art and craftsmanship spanning centuries. Including, at the end, several Faig Ahmed creations which, if I had a spare $50k, i would be very tempted by. The gift shop is of the usual high quality with some very good collections of postcards of the museum contents.

Perfect place for an evening walk some nice cafes around for refreshments. If you're travelling in winter, some warm gears are recommended to counter windy sea breeze.
