One of the most WOW places in Baku, mainly at night. We were there in the evening when the lights were on. I would have given both the architect and the lights engineer an international prize for their amazing project,

We were only allowed to see the outside of the mosque but enjoyed my time at this beautiful location. I learnt a lot about the history from our guide who was kind enough to inform us about it. A must visit to all tourists...it’s indeed beautiful. Go in the daytime!

Named after the former president, this Mosque is popular among tourists. Though a bit far from the city center that you need to ask your tour operator to bring you here, it is an architectural marvel especially at night when illuminated with floodlights.

Using the phone App BOLT, I paid 5 manat and went to the Heydar Mosque. It is very beautiful and I recommend everyone to take the time to visit it.
Avoid the expensive and overrated BS tours and save money by going there by yourselves and by your own means.
God is great!

A beautifully built mosque; ornate and majestic. Particularly spectacular at night. Also offers good views of the city.

If you want to see the interior, you need to go during the day but then you miss the gorgeously uplit and sublime extior. Don't go to the back side: it's not special and dangerous walking there. Uber from city center 3 Euro

It will be better to go at this mosque at night. No doubt it is an amazing true beautiful mosque. People are doing night walk near to that place. The current weather of the baku is awesome.There is also a metro statement near to that landmark. (Nisimi Metro station). Also you can take uber to reach at that place.

The Heydar Mosque is really big and beautiful. The scenery is beautiful when it is night and all of the lights light up. I've been there like 5 times and every time go there it gets more and more beautiful.

When we went we took the metro late afternoon (it was full, but an experience!) to Nasimi station and came out at dusk.
It wasn't obvious how to get there but we found it on foot with a map I'd prepared (it's about a 10 minute walk - a few minutes first to a junction on the main road you come out on, turn right there and walk up the hill on a footpath, again along the main road).
It was a bit worrying having to walk around a completely random suburban area of the city as it was getting dark and as usual there were strangers milling around, but we had absolutely no problems going or walking back.
Plus the mosque at night is stunning!
