Absheron is truly unique for its mud volcanoes. There are 300 in Azerbaijan or 30 percent of the world’s total. Post-apocalyptic is the only way to describe the landscape in Gobustan National Park. Situated just 67km south of Baku (or an hour’s drive) along the Caspian coast, Gobustan (Qobustan) is all rock and oozing mud, scars, and craters. A beautiful landscape, as if you are on the planet Mars (scientists have drawn an analogy and the surface in the area of Gobustan is very similar to the surface of the planet Mars) and the constant mud gurgling creates a feeling of the unearthly surface.

Baku Funicular is a funicular system in Baku. Essentially a cliff railway, the Funicular is a connection between the Martyrs' Lane and Neftchilar Avenue, which are Baku’s two landmarks of prime importance, among others. This attraction further holds significance owing to the fact that it is Azerbaijan’s first funicular system, with its opening dating back to the year 1960. It stretches over a length of 455 meters and features a maximal speed of 8.2 feet per second. The funicular has two stations called “Bahram Gur” and “Martyrs’ Lane"

Philharmonia Garden sometimes called Gubernator's or Governor's Park, is a park in Baku, next to the Baku fortress. The park was established at the beginning of 1830; ship captains coming from Iran were asked to bring a sack of soil to add to it. It was extended in the 1860s and 1870s to 4.6 hectares (11 acres) and was originally called Mixaylov bağı (Mikhaelovsky Garden) after the governor. The park was renovated in the 1970s and then further renovated beginning in 2007 on orders of President Ilham Aliyev. An old-fashioned fountain designed by the French company Inter Art has been added.

The Maiden Tower is a Baku landmark, a much loved symbol of the city and of Azerbaijan. It looms dark and enigmatic, looking out to sea from the southern edge of Baku´s old, walled city, the Icheri Sheher. The origins of the tower are shrouded in mystery - no-one knows for certain when it was built or what it was built for or even how it acquired its name Maiden Tower (Qiz qalasi). The walls of the tower are five metres thick at its foundation, but narrow to about 4.5 metres at the top. This indicates that the lower and upper parts of the tower were built at the same time, not at different times as some scholars assert. The secret of the survival of the Maiden Tower lies in this solid foundation.
