Each product has its own page with the details; this page is the overview of Baku, and the WhatsApp desk turns any combination of them into one itinerary with one written price.

Getting to Baku: the airports

Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is about 20 km north-east of central Baku - roughly 25 to 40 minutes by road - and about 15 km from the Buzovna beaches; Gobustan is around an hour and a half away.

Express buses and the city bus run from the airport to 28 May station, which is simple and fine for a light traveller with a hotel in the centre; a private car is simpler for late arrivals, families with luggage, or hotels in the Old City, Buzovna and the Absheron villages.

Where to stay in Baku

The areas travellers ask us about most: Buzovna and Mardakan, Absheron peninsula, Old City (Icherisheher), Fountain Square and Nizami Street, Baku Boulevard and Flame Towers and Highland Park.

Wherever you stay, the airport transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door, and tours collect you from the hotel; tell the desk the hotel name and everything is planned around it.

What to see in Baku

The places most visitors come for: Yanar Dag, Gobustan rock art and mud volcanoes, Maiden Tower and the Old City, Palace of the Shirvanshahs, Heydar Aliyev Center, Flame Towers and Baku Boulevard and Little Venice.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Caspian Sea Boat Tour with Skyline Views Baku, Baku City Night Tour with Guide and Gobustan Mud Volcanoes and Absheron Day Tour Baku say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Baku

Worth trying: Saffron plov, Dolma in vine leaves, Qutab flatbreads, Dushbara dumplings in broth and Lyulya kebab. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

April to June and September to October are mild and green; July and August are hot and humid on the coast; winter is cool and windy, and the city is called the City of Winds. Airport road traffic is heaviest on weekday rush hours.

Good to know before you arrive

Most visitors need an e-visa or must check entry rules before flying; give us your airline and flight number and the exact hotel name, since the Old City has restricted vehicle access. Day trips to Gobustan, Shamakhi and the mountains work best with a driver.

Our WhatsApp desk answers day and night in Arabic and English, confirms each booking in writing and stays reachable for the whole trip.
