Baku is a distinct mix of European and Middle Eastern ambiances with a bit of vintage, Soviet-era atmosphere thrown in. This country’s capital along the splendid Caspian Sea is a city replete with centuries-old structures and ultra-modern office buildings. The attention-grabbing Flame Towers - three iconic skyscrapers expertly designed to resemble flames - adds to the skyline’s intrigue. In the evening, the towers display dazzling light shows that are a true visual treat. To get a glimpse of Baku’s past, head to the historic heart of the city Icheri Sheher - or Old City. This area features the marvelous UNESCO-recognized 15th-century Palace of The Shirvanshahs.

1. Sabayil (from USD 85)
Sabayil is situated along the Caspian Sea shoreline - just south of the Old City. Although there’s a bustling port, Sabayil is still a quiet and safe neighborhood where you’ll find much of the city’s sporting venues, government offices, and art museums. If you’re a sports enthusiast, you can check out a lively soccer match at ASCO Arena, and Aquatic Palace is where you can enjoy international swimming competitions. For art lovers, there’s a collection of museums that include YARAT Contemporary Art Centre and Stone Chronicle Museum - a museum showcasing the rich history of stone plastics in Azerbaijan. The city’s pride is on display at National Flag Square - where a huge flag of Azerbaijan flies on a pole 531 feet (162 meters) above the plaza.

3. Yasamal
Yasamal is a wide-ranging area that stretches from pleasant Icheri Sheher (Old City) in the southeast to the cozy northwestern suburbs. Despite its magnitude, this neighborhood adjacent to Nasimi is a relatively tranquil area due to its residential environment. A selection of cafes and bistros serve mouthwatering local and European cuisines. Central Park and Huseyn Cavid Park - a green space named after a prominent Azerbaijani poet and playwright of the early 20th century - provide nice places to unwind and escape the city’s hectic pace. You can also find a green oasis at Central Botanical Garden - a huge botanical garden displaying captivating artwork, lovely greenhouses, a sparkling pond, and woodsy areas.

4. Baku White City
Located in the southeast portion of Baku is Baku White City. In a bygone era, this area of Baku was comprised of the city’s suburbs and was dotted with a multitude of unassuming Soviet-era apartment blocks and not much else. Nowadays, it is a symbol of the city’s significant progress. A redevelopment and reshaping of this former industrial area have transformed Baku White City into a prestigious neighborhood filled with eye-catching, ultra-modern business complexes - such as the eye-popping Heydar Aliyev Centre - and classic European-inspired residential apartment buildings. The delightful seaside boulevard is a wonderful place to take a stroll in the evening.
