The rock art of Gobustan
Half a day with the mud volcanoes
March to May and September to November
The visit starts at the Petroglyph Museum, which explains the site, then follows paths among the rocks to carvings of hunters, boats and animals cut into the stone. The hills look out over the Caspian shore, about an hour from Baku.
Good to know
- The site is exposed and hot in summer: bring water and a hat
- Comfortable shoes for the rocky paths
