A Tourist's Guide to Baku, Azerbaijan 2018

From Tbilisi we fly into Baku, located along the Caspian Sea. Staying the Fairmont 'Flame' Tower Hotel affords us an excellent view of the long sweeping city coastline.

In the city, we see the giant flag, walk past the carpet museum, see the twists and turns of the old medieval walled town, which included the magnificent Maiden Tower. We catch a metro to the Heydar Aliyev Centre, and then walk back, stopping off at the sprawling central market.
All in all, Baku is a pleasing mix of new and old, mixing glitzy modern skyscrapers with ottoman architecture.
