Baku, Azerbaijan

Welcome drink, then an evening drive: Highland Park, Alley of Martyrs, the National Assembly, Flame Towers and Crystal Hall. Dinner at an Indian restaurant.

The UNESCO-listed Inner City: Palace of the Shirvanshahs and Maiden Tower. Then Nizami Street, Fountains Square and Zaha Hadid's flowing Heydar Aliyev Center.

Ateshgah Fire Temple — once a Hindu and Zoroastrian place of worship — and Yanardag, the hillside that has burned continuously for centuries. Walk Baku Boulevard on the Caspian.

Local sweets, Xurcun dry fruits, Genclik Mall and the seaside Deniz Mall — then the airport.
