Baku
Discover the Opulence of the Caspian, Between East and West
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, serves as a brilliant bridge between two continents, Asia and Europe. The UNESCO-protected Old City holds labyrinthine alleys, fortified walls, and hammams within, while the imposing Flame Towers illuminate the skyline. Along the Caspian, the Nizami boulevard bursts with locals and travelers alike, while the Carpet Museum commands attention with its pioneering architecture. Baku blends authentic Eastern hospitality with cosmopolitan sophistication—from modern malls to restaurants serving dishes rich in pomegranate, saffron, and dolma. Undeniably, it is the premier destination of the Caucasus.
