THE BAKU diaries

Skiing in winter to autumn festivals or witnessing Novruz in spring and feeling the Caspian vibe in summer are great reasons to visit Azerbaijan throughout the year. In addition to its beautiful terrain, Azerbaijan offers a blend of traditions and modern development. In the last decade or so, Azerbaijan which is rich in natural oil and gas has shown exponential growth and rise in several of its industries, especially tourism. Recent trends have confirmed that travellers now want immersive and fulfilling experiences during their travels - whether it is on a business or a pleasure trip. Azerbaijan is a rich haven for not only a complete 360-degree experience but also fascinating, exploratory journeys.

Baku the capital of Azerbaijan is the largest contemporary city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region retaining an old-world charm and rich culture and history. From the modern elegance of the Flame Towers standing majestically to the medieval UNESCO-listed Old City, there is something for everyone in this dynamic capital. Located at an elevation of 28 meters below sea level, Baku is the world's lowestlying national capital city, and is also known as the City of Winds..

Being a coastal city, Baku exudes an intrinsic warmth and hospitality. Visitors can stroll along the Caspian promenade, visit the Old City known as 'Icherisheher', take in the effervescence of the winding city streets, enjoy a mouthwatering local culinary journey in several cafes and restaurants that dot the city or have the perfect night out at Baku's lounges, bars and clubs that are open until very late! A trip to Baku would be incomplete without tasting the famous Baku caviar which is produced in the Azerbaijan Fish Farm, a sustainable breeding project working to replenish the endangered Sturgeon population in the Caspian Sea.
