Yanar Dag Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Yanar Dag in 2026?

Entry to the Yanar Dag National Reserve costs 2 manat for Azerbaijani citizens and 15 manat for foreign visitors; it’s free for guests with disabilities and foreign citizens ages 12 and under. You can also visit on a tour of natural and cultural attractions around Baku; prices start at US$5 on top of entry fees.

Q: Is it worth booking a guided tour to visit Yanar Dag?

Yes, it’s worth visiting Yanar Dag on a guided tour, which is the best way to learn the science behind the continuously burning hillside and the cultural significance of fire in Azerbaijan. Plus, full-day tours from Baku provide transportation to additional attractions, such as the mud volcanoes and ancient rock art of Gobustan National Park.

Q: What are the opening hours of Yanar Dag?

Yanar Dag is open daily, 10am–7pm. It’s an open-air site, so if you’re visiting in the summer, go in the morning to beat the heat—or in the early evening to see the flames with darker skies. Allow about an hour to explore Yanar Dag, or visit on a full-day tour of nearby natural attractions.

Q: Can you get to Yanar Dag with public transportation?

Yes, you can get to Yanar Dag using public transportation. From Baku Old City, take the metro Red Line to Koroglu station, then ride bus 217 to Yanar Dag. The trip takes about an hour each way. To get there faster, drive 30 minutes from central Baku, or book a tour that includes transportation.

Q: What should you wear to visit Yanar Dag?

Wear comfortable shoes to walk on the steps and uneven dirt paths surrounding Yanar Dag, and bring a hat and sunglasses, since there’s little shade on-site. There’s no official dress code, but it’s best to wear light, breathable fabrics in the warmer months or layers for cool and windy winter weather.

Mystic Ateshgah and Yanar Dag Tour

Marc_D, Jun 2026

Excellent Half Day Out

This was a very enjoyable day out. Ali, my guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. Yanardag was impressive but you only need a few minutes to get the gist of it. Still, I am pleased I went to see this.
