Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a fascinating mix of old-world charm and modern glamour. Often referred to as the "Dubai of the Caucasus," this city, situated on the Caspian Sea, boasts stunning architecture, a rich history, vibrant nightlife, and warm hospitality. For Indian travelers, Baku is becoming a favorite because it’s visa-friendly, budget-friendly, and just a short flight away from India.
If you’re planning your trip, here are the top 10 things to do in Baku that you can’t miss:
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Baku’s Old City is a maze of narrow lanes, stone walls, and historic monuments. Don’t miss the Maiden Tower and the Shirvanshah’s Palace. It feels like stepping back in time, and it’s one of the best places to shop for souvenirs, carpets, and handicrafts.
The Baku Boulevard is the heart of the city’s social life. Walk by the sea, enjoy the musical fountains, or take a ride on the Baku Eye Ferris Wheel. In the evening, the whole boulevard lights up beautifully, making it perfect for a relaxed outing.
The three Flame Towers dominate the skyline and are especially stunning at night when they glow with LED lights in the shape of flames. You can visit inside for panoramic views of the city or simply admire them from afar.
For the best view of Baku, ride the funicular up to Highland Park. From here, you’ll see the entire city, the Flame Towers, and the Caspian Sea. It’s a must for photographers and sunset lovers.
This lively pedestrian street is Baku’s version of Delhi’s Connaught Place, but much more glamorous. Packed with international brands, local boutiques, cafés, and restaurants, it’s the perfect place to shop, eat, and people-watch.
Just outside Baku lies Gobustan National Park, famous for its ancient rock carvings that date back thousands of years. Nearby, you’ll also see the unique mud volcanoes, a natural wonder you won’t find in many places around the world.
Designed by the world-famous architect Zaha Hadid, this futuristic building is one of Baku’s top attractions. Its wave-like design is breathtaking, and inside you’ll find cultural exhibits and art displays.
Indian travelers often wonder about food abroad, but in Baku, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. Don’t miss dishes like Plov (rice pilaf), Dolma (stuffed grape leaves), and Kebabs. There are also many Indian restaurants if you crave familiar flavors.
Known as the Temple of Eternal Fire, this historic site has a deep connection with Indian traders who once lived in Baku centuries ago. It’s a fascinating stop that links Indian history with Azerbaijan’s culture.
Baku is lively after dark with rooftop bars, clubs, and traditional tea houses. You can also try a Caspian Sea cruise in the evening to see the city lights from the water—an unforgettable experience.
