Gobustan Rock Art, Daghlig Shirvan Region, Azerbaijan
4.5 (1.177 reviews) Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Qobustan Speciality Museums • Natural History Museums
Lots of Petroglyphs to see on a walk around the site
It's amazing how you can get up close to the rock art and try to decipher what the pictures are and what they might mean. You follow a path through the area to see several of the sites in turn, some of these have explanation boards. Our guide was good in that he was able to point out pictures we might have missed. You need to concentrate to see them as you can easily miss them.

A very nice place if you like the clear landscape
This is the UNESCO site and the scenes is so nice, you have to drive there from the city around 2:30 hour. Need to get a ticket to enter the place, and you may have a chance to taste the variety of teas, with sweet jam. One of the place that worth the visit.

Amazing!
Terrific little museum and then after a short drive (or 25min walk) the excellent site with easily walkable trails with explanatory boards/ An easy drive an hour south of Baku. No guide needed but plenty available if you feel the need. Small entrance fee. Allow about 90-120 mins for a reasonable visit.
