The Flame Towers are an iconic symbol of Baku, best known for their impressive LED light show that illuminates the city skyline after sunset, depicting flames, an Azerbaijani flag, and other dynamic patterns. Primarily a visual landmark, viewing them from the outside is free and accessible to all, with excellent vantage points from Highland Park (Dagustu Park) or the Caspian Sea Boulevard, often reached via the Baku Funicular (small fee). Solo visits are ideal for enjoying the spectacle at one's own pace, though guided city tours frequently include a stop here. There are no seasonal restrictions, but the experience is best enjoyed after dark, typically lasting 15-30 minutes for viewing the show itself. Inside, the towers house residences, offices, and the Fairmont Baku hotel, which is generally accessible to visitors for dining or drinks, incurring associated costs. This is a must-see for any visitor to Baku.
