   • Highland Park. Of all the Baku tourist attractions, Highland Park is, in my opinion, the most spectacular one. Located on top of a long and wide flight of stairs, this park is also known as the “Viewing Square” because it truly offers the most breathtaking and magnificent views of the Caspian Sea, the iconic Flame Towers, and the entire city.
   • Heydar Mosque. Another one of Baku’s must-see places is the gorgeous Heydar Mosque. Although it’s a bit out of the way (a 20-minute drive from the Old City), its striking architecture is absolutely worth seeing.
   • Maiden Tower. Of all of Baku’s famous places, the one I found the most fascinating is the mysterious UNESCO World Heritage Site of Maiden Tower. Located in the heart of Icherisheher (the Old City), this monument has been the subject of debate among scientists for centuries.
   • Heydar Aliyev Center. If you’re interested in learning about the history and culture of Azerbaijan, then visiting the Heydar Aliyev Center should absolutely be on your list of top things to do in Baku.
