Arriving in Baku<\/strong> from Aktau, in Kazakhstan<\/a>, was like changing continents without crossing anything more than the Caspian Sea. In just one hour by plane, the landscape, the architecture, and even the pace of life were completely transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had just spent months traveling through Central Asia, with its vast steppes, dusty bazaars and more traditional lifestyle, and suddenly I found myself in a modern, bright city full of contrasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baku is a curious mix: a capital city that combines glass skyscrapers and elegant avenues with stone alleyways and ancient minarets. It is the meeting point between East and West, where the Persian and Soviet legacies coexist with the futuristic ambitions of oil and gas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post I'm going to tell you everything you can do in Baku, how to get around, what places you can't miss, and why this city surprised me so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I assure you that, if you dedicate a few days to it, you will understand its history, its energy and that unique personality that sets it apart from the rest of the Caucasus.<\/p>\n\n\n
