Baku
description
Azerbaijan’s capital Baku (or Bakı in Azeri) is the architectural love child of Paris and Dubai…albeit with plenty of Soviet genes floating half-hidden in the background. Few cities in the world are changing as quickly and nowhere else in the Caucasus do East and West blend as seamlessly or as chaotically. At its heart, the Unesco-listed İçəri Şəhər (Old City) lies within an exotically crenellated arc of fortress wall. Around this are gracefully illuminated stone mansions and pedestrianised tree-lined streets filled with exclusive boutiques. Baku is full of surprises. This beautiful place will take your breath away with all that it has to offer. Baku is widely popular for its beautiful views, delicious food and the stunning carpets. Baku is actually a mix of ancient town and the Parisian style neighbourhood. Baku is actually home to some beautiful historic buildings and several other historical icons. Because of all that it has to offer, the city is high on tourism with thousands of people visiting it everyday. The place is especially a food haven and food lovers will definitely find numerous dishes to feast on every single day.
