Where East meets West
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a city Where East meets West.
In Baku you will discover a constantly evolving tapestry of life and energy from bazaar to penthouse. Being a coastal city, Baku is intrinsically open-minded and hospitable.
Guests are welcome to stroll along the Caspian promenade (the Boulevard), visit the Old City (known locally as Icherisheher) and enjoy the unique architectural blend of East and West.
This is where your mind will wander, where your soul will flourish & where your senses come alive. Baku is known for some of its popular attractions, which include: Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center · Baku Old City · Highland Park · Baku Funicular · Little Venice.
The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Silk Road port city, through its oil boom to its Soviet period. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.
