You will be able to visit the Absheron Peninsula (30 km away from the city center), then the Ateshgah (or place of fire) a Zoroastrian Fire Temple and Yanar Dag.
The Temple of Eternal Fire – Ateshgah – is an authentic Azerbaijani exotic. This territory is known for such unique natural phenomenon as burning natural gas outlets (underground gas coming onto surface contacts oxygen and lights up).
