Meet your guide after lunch at an agreed upon location.
Drive to Ateshgah which is also called the Temple of Fire. This temple is the most famous place of the Absheron peninsula, loved by the guests of the city. The sanctuary of the eternal fire was built in the 17th century on the site of the most ancient temple of the Zoroastrians. The ancient exhibits located in the present cells of Indian and Zoroastrian hermits will help you understand how Zoroastrianism used to be practised.
Head to the famous guesthouse where the “father of the three musketeers”, Alexander Dumas and the great Russian chemist Mendeleyev stayed.
Make your way to the Mardakan Castle, also called the Quadrangular Fortress. The castle is a 13th-century Shirvan architectural monument, which was built during the Mongolian invasion of Europe and Asia. On the top of the fortress walls, experience how it feels to be in charge of the fortress.
Explore Yanardag or the Burning mountain next. The natural eternal flame that bursts from deep inside this mountain over the last many centuries, is a unique natural phenomenon.
Conclude your tour with a drop off to your hotel.
