It’s free to view Baku’s Flame Towers from outside. Checking out the inside, however, may cost money, depending on whether you stop in the hotel, restaurants, or other businesses. Many travelers admire the towers’ evening light show on the Baku Funicular, which costs 1 manat each way, or on guided city tours starting at US$10.

Yes, you can go inside the Flame Towers if you’re a hotel guest or visiting one of the on-site bars or restaurants; the rest of the space is used for private offices and apartments. To admire the buildings’ architecture and nightly light displays, though, simply view them from the outside.

No, there’s not an observation deck at the Flame Towers. However, you can head up to the 19th-floor cocktail bar at the Fairmont Baku hotel for a drink with a view of the city. For a panoramic view that includes the Flame Towers, head up to the hilltop gardens and terraces at Highland Park.

It’s best to visit the Flame Towers after sunset, when roughly 10,000 LED lights illuminate the buildings in the colors of fire and the Azerbaijan flag. Baku night tours, which typically start after 7pm, often include a stop to see the light show at the towers along with other illuminated landmarks.

You can get a great view of the Flame Towers—and the rest of Baku—from Highland Park. Take the stairs or ride the funicular up to the public park, where you’ll find paved trails and panoramic terraces with the Flame Towers as a backdrop. You can also see the towers while strolling along Seaside Boulevard.
