The 15 Best Quba Day Trips from Baku

23 reviewed

Quba is the base for the whole northern corner: apple country, the Candy Cane Mountains, the canyon road up to Khinaliq and the Shahdag resort. Almost every tour bundles two or three of those, so the useful comparison is which combination you get for the day. Prices, pick-up times and lunch arrangements are all below.
