About Baku
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a dynamic city where modernity meets tradition against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. Situated on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, Baku offers a fascinating mix of historical charm and contemporary flair.
The city’s skyline is marked by the futuristic Flame Towers, which symbolize Baku’s rapid development and embrace of modern architecture. In contrast, the historic Old City, or Icherisheher, is a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring narrow medieval streets, ancient mosques, and the impressive Maiden Tower. This area provides a glimpse into Baku’s rich history and cultural heritage.
Baku’s waterfront promenade, known as the Baku Boulevard, stretches along the Caspian Sea and offers picturesque views, recreational areas, and landmarks such as the Baku Eye Ferris wheel. The promenade is a popular spot for both locals and visitors to enjoy leisurely strolls and spectacular sunsets.
Cultural highlights in Baku include the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, which showcases the intricate craftsmanship of traditional Azerbaijani rugs, and the Heydar Aliyev Center, a striking architectural marvel designed by Zaha Hadid. The center’s flowing, futuristic design represents the city’s embrace of contemporary art and architecture.
Baku’s culinary scene reflects the rich flavors of Azerbaijani cuisine, with dishes like kebabs, plov (pilaf), and dolma offering a taste of the country’s diverse culinary traditions. The city’s bustling markets and modern restaurants provide a range of dining experiences.
The surrounding landscapes of Azerbaijan are equally captivating. The Gobustan National Park, with its ancient rock carvings and mud volcanoes, offers a glimpse into the region’s prehistoric past, while the nearby Absheron Peninsula features picturesque beaches and natural reserves.
With its blend of historical significance, modern innovation, and natural beauty, Baku presents a vibrant destination that captures the essence of Azerbaijan’s past and future.
