Baku, Azerbaijan, Land of Fire, 4Nights and 5Days
Baku, Azerbaijan, Land of Fire, 4Nights and 5Days
Baku, the Capital and Commercial hub of Azerbaijan is a low-lying city with a coastline along the Caspian
Sea. Baku is unlike anywhere else on Earth on the fault line between East and West.
Baku offers a fascinating Soviet legacy, soaring towers that could have been transplanted from Shanghai, along
with a beautiful ancient center. Contradictory it may be, but Baku is always a delight.
High summer can be a little intense for some, so visit between April and June or September to
October for the best weather. Winters tend to be chilly, and many attractions close for the season.

It was abandoned in the late 19th century, probably due to the dwindling of the Indian population in the area.
