Baku is one of those cities that pleasantly surprise. I visit here every year, and every time I catch myself thinking: the central part is really beautiful and well-maintained, and the architecture in some places resembles Paris or St. Petersburg.
Baku: what to see in 1-2 days
The old city is most similar to the old quarters of Turkey and Persia. At the same time, Baku is a big and very different city: it is not all “postcard”, but its main walking areas are just top.
The central part of the capital of Azerbaijan is literally “licked”: well-groomed streets, lighting, embankment, atmosphere and the feeling of a big city by the sea.
At the same time, it is important to understand honestly: in Azerbaijan itself, apart from Baku and a couple of separate destinations, tourists often have nothing much to see. Usually people come to Baku (this is the main place), sometimes they go skiing, and then they do it at will.
Therefore, if you arrived in Baku for 1-2 days, here is a simple and logical route for you. After completing it, you can be sure: You saw all the main things that were really worth seeing in Baku.
