Best time to fly

The best time to visit Baku is during the shoulder seasons, from April to June and September to October. The weather is mild and pleasant during these months, ideal for sightseeing. Avoid the summer months of July and August, as temperatures can get very high.

Getting from the airport to Baku

Baku's Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is about 20 km from the city center. The BakuBus Airport Express Line H1 provides direct service to 28 May Metro Station for around 1.30 AZN. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal, costing approximately 20-30 AZN to the city center.

Things to do in Baku

Visit the Walled City of Baku (Icheri Sheher), a UNESCO World Heritage site with historical buildings and narrow streets. Explore the Flame Towers, modern skyscrapers that light up at night. See the Heydar Aliyev Center, known for its distinctive architecture and exhibitions. Take a day trip to the Gobustan National Park to see ancient rock carvings.

Food to try

Try the plov, a rice dish with meat, fruits, and herbs, considered the national dish. Sample dolma, stuffed grape leaves or vegetables, a common dish in Azerbaijani cuisine. Enjoy a traditional tea ceremony, often accompanied by local sweets and jams.

Local tips

Learn a few basic Azerbaijani phrases, as English is not widely spoken outside tourist areas. Always carry your passport and visa with you, as you may be asked to present them. Be respectful of local customs, especially when visiting religious sites.
