When planning a trip to Azerbaijan, a visit to its capital, Baku, is a must.

As the commercial and economic heartbeat of Azerbaijan, Baku is home to over 2 million inhabitants, making it the largest and most vibrant city in the South Caucasus region. The city’s rich and captivating history draws countless visitors to its unique attractions. Since gaining independence, Baku has undergone rapid transformations, and nowhere else in the Caucasus can you find such a seamless integration of Eastern and Western influences.
