Departure for the tour with a professional guide in a comfortable vehicle.
10:15–11:15 AM — Visit to the local market
Baku’s Green Market is a true oriental bazaar: stalls overflow with ripe fruit, the air is filled with the aromas of spices, and vibrant colors lift your mood at any time of the year.
11:30 AM – 1:00 PM — Arrival at the Heydar Aliyev Center. Museum tour.
The center was designed in 2007 by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid. In 2014, it was recognized as the world’s best building and received the Design of the Year award. If you delve into the meaning of Hadid’s work, you’ll see how the architecture embodies her ideas. Its wave-like form rising skyward and blending with the earth reflects not only the maestro’s postmodernist style but also the concept of infinity, symbolizing the connection between past and future.
1:00–2:30 PM — Lunch at a local restaurant (not included in the price)
Opportunity to enjoy traditional Azerbaijani cuisine.
3:00 PM — Visit to the famous "Villa Petrolea," home of the Nobel Brothers Museum
The Nobel Brothers Partnership, which had a major impact on the development of the oil industry in Russia, didn’t build lavish income houses. Instead, they created Nobel settlements for their employees and oil field workers, with hospitals, schools, and more. A worthy monument to the Nobel family’s good deeds in Baku is “Villa Petrolea” — a preserved park and a beautiful two-story mansion in Byzantine style that served as the Baku residence of the founders of the famous Swedish “Nobel Brothers Partnership.”
