Bakú

Baku is Azerbaijan's vibrant capital on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Wander the cobbled lanes of Icherisheher, the walled Old City, admire the futuristic Flame Towers and Heydar Aliyev Center, and stroll the seaside Boulevard at sunset.

From fire temples to carpet museums and a booming food scene, Baku is the perfect gateway to the Caucasus.
