About Baku
Baku: Caspian Capital Between Fire Temples and Glass Towers
Baku sits on the Absheron Peninsula, jutting into the Caspian Sea roughly 28 metres below sea level — the lowest-lying capital in the world. The city's defining contrast is architectural: the UNESCO-listed Old City (İçərişəhər), enclosed by 12th-century stone walls, stands directly beside the Flame Towers, three glass skyscrapers that light up the skyline each night. The old quarter contains the Palace of the Shirvanshahs (15th century) and the Maiden Tower, a cylindrical structure whose origins predate written records.
Where to Stay
Most hotels cluster along the Neftchilar Avenue waterfront promenade or in the Sabail district, both within walking distance of the walled city. The Nizami Street corridor — Baku's main shopping spine — sits five minutes on foot from midrange and business-class properties. Formula 1 fans book well in advance: the Azerbaijan Grand Prix circuit runs through city streets each April or June, filling hotels across all price bands.
Practical Tips
- Visa: Most nationalities obtain an e-visa via evisa.gov.az before travel.
- Currency: Azerbaijani manat (AZN); card acceptance is widespread downtown.
- Transit: Baku Metro covers key districts; taxis via the Bolt app are inexpensive.
- Airport: Heydar Aliyev International Airport lies 25 km east of the centre.
