Arriving in Baku, the Caspian pushes light across the bay and the Flame Towers puncture the skyline — a quick urban chapter before the road climbs into the Greater Caucasus. Over the next four days the landscape shifts from coastal asphalt to walnut woods, limestone outcrops, and alpine meadows. Travelers move at a deliberate pace: sunrise panoramas above Highland Park, evening walks on Baku Boulevard, then long drives into the mountains where waterfalls and fortress ruins take over the view.
