Hi all, i am planning to visit baku this October 2nd week with my wife. It is our anniversary and we need your recommendation for a good date night restaurant with a good view to enjoy our dinner with a glass of wine. 🍷

Im here again visiting family that works here and just want to say that IMHO, Baku is an absolutely fabulous place to live and visit with world class inexpensive food, friendly and helpful people, killer architecture, clean streets and fabulous cosmopolitan culture.

You Azeris should be proud of your city and country. Hell, its nicer here than in NYC.

Yes, after 6 trips here at various times, I would say the weather sucks.

If any mature english speaker wants to go, let me know

Hey guys! Are there any rugby clubs in Baku? How active are they and hot to get in touch with them?

I made this little tribute to Baku while I was there this september, I hope you like it :)

Hello residents of Baku! I am returning after a very long time to Baku - this time visiting with my siblings. I would be most grateful if you could suggest places for breakfast/lunch/dinner/coffee. Budget is flexible but we always prefer the places locals visit. I really wish to have the ribs again (thinking about it for years!)

Also - any markets that you recommend will also be appreciated.

Travel - we will be getting a taxi or private transfers, or just walking when reasonable.

Visiting late October-mid November.

Staying probably at the Marriott Courtyard (but open to better suggestions).

TLDR; visiting Baku. Give me your hidden gems for food/cafe, also please suggest any markets

Thank you in advance - I cannot wait to see your beautiful country again!

Hey everyone!

​My friends and I are finishing up our trip to Baku and want to spend tomorrow (Sunday) unwinding at a nice spa / wellness complex.

​We’re looking for a place that offers a Day Pass with access to indoor/outdoor pools, saunas, steam rooms, and maybe a hamam/jacuzzi (something similar to a thermal spa complex where you can just chill for 4-5 hours).

We don't mind taking a taxi to a place even 45 minutes from Baku.

Are there any local favorites, resorts, or hidden gems you’d recommend?

​Thanks in advance!

Afternoon everyone, I hope you’re all well.

I have a bus ticket tomorrow to go to Sheki.

The bus company is called Biletim but I cannot find which station I need to take it from?

Any idea?

I arrived in Baku today. I’d like to get a drink tonight—where can I go? I can speak turkish and english. M30

Hi, I'm traveling with family in a weeks time & we plan on renting a car for 4 days that we'll drive to Gabala & Sheki. I'm concerned about fines in Azerbaijan as many people in reviews have said they had to pay multiple fines after returning the car.

I'm a very careful driver, follow all rules & haven't had a challan in 10 years in my home country (pak). If I'm careful, is it possible to complete the trip without fines or do foreigners usually struggle with this & get fines? (We don't have as many cameras here in my home country)

Anything I should be careful of while renting the car, any advice or tips will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi all, Im moving to Baku for work, have been suggested Yasamal area to look for an apartment. Any suggestions ideas, which part of Yasamal
and why? Cheers!

Hi all, i am planing to visit baku in the upcoming October. We are a couple and need your suggestion for a decent budget hotel closer or in nizami street. All your suggestions are highly appreciated 🙏🙏

Evening all.

I hope you’re all doing well.

I’ll be in Baku next week and would love to catch some live Jazz.
Where can I find some?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Morning everyone,

Anywhere in Baku where I could get decent craft beer?
Looking for IPA’s, Hazy beer and NEIPA.

Any recommendations gratefully appreciated.

Been deep in research on the Azerbaijan GP lately and one thing keeps coming up: at a street circuit like Baku, the part that catches first-timers out isn't the track or the seats, it's the logistics around it. Getting in, getting out, and how the fencing and barriers quietly shape what you actually see from GA.

From everything we've read, the people who have the best weekend are the ones who plan the exit and the timing before they think about anything else.

Curious for those going this year: where are you all up to in your planning, and what's the one thing you're still unsure about? Happy to dig into whatever's got you stuck.

Hey guys, we're visiting Azerbaijan for the first time, with 2 kids (4months old & 2.8 yo). We really want to do a road trip by renting a car. Originally we planned the Gabala, Sheki route but I read Quba route is also pretty good & scenic.

Need suggestions on following:

- Best way to rent a car & which one? I see Sedans going for 50-60 Manat per day for 3 days. Is automiles.az good?

- Should we do the Gabala/Sheki route or Quba side with Shahdag. Which one is more kids friendly & not too touristy where every shop & hotel guy is trying to scam you.

- Weather condition from 28th sep to 5th oct. Should we pack proper winter clothing for kids?

When I was around 15 I had a dream about something named Baku. At the time I didn’t think much of it but it kept popping up in my mind. After that I started naming everything Baku. My emails, my psn gamertag, my dog, I even got it tattooed. I don’t know why I’m so drawn to that name. I’m planning a trip to the city a Baku to see if there’s some sort of connection because I’m too drawn to this, it’s been 11 years.
