Baku Airport to Baku Railway Station transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Baku Airport to Baku Railway Station depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer.

Arriving at Baku Airport (GYD)
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.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Baku Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Baku Airport to Baku Railway Station transfer.
Searches for "GYD to Baku Railway Station" or "GYD airport transfer" land here for a reason: GYD is the airport code for Baku Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Baku Railway Station.
