Travel Tips for Baku
Basic rules given to me
by dflewellen
Some rules to remember: 1) Never whistle indoors. It is very bad luck. 2) Do not attempt to shake hands across a doorway. It is considered rude. 3) When eating, never throw out bread. It is disrespectful for those who have gone hungry in their lifes and had no bread. 4) Do not wear shorts or sandals on the street. This is a conservative Muslim country and the old-guard will not tolerate the skin showing. As a guest this rule applies. It does not apply to the locals. 5) Walking the streets after dark is dangerous. Not due to crime. The problem is poor lighting open man holes, one-way roads are more of a guideline than a rule, there are basement access points without guardrails, and stairs are not evenly standardized on height and tread depth, even from step to step on one stairway.
Windbreakers
by dflewellen
Suggest that you always carry a light windbreaker, even in warm weather. The winds can kick up to 50mph suddenly, and the windbreaker will help cut the dust and possibly the chilly air that can accompany the wind. Due to the sand in the air, I suggest that you keep a UV filter lens on your camera (for those who have the old-fashioned film cameras)
Eating in Karavansarai
by Minashka about Karavansarai
Wouldn't you like to go back in time? Go to Karavansarai any time of the year! Summertime you can sit in the courtyard and imagine all the Silk Way caravans that would stop there 5-6 centuries ago... There is a small fountain in the middle of the yard and just look up to get a glimpse of the Maiden Tower! Wintertime enjoy the warmth of the ground floor and look up for the door of the cave leading all the way to the Maiden Tower :) There are also private rooms that are great when it's cold outside. Every room has its own fire-place and you sit on divans with lots of pillows (mutakkahs). It's so cool! Those rooms were actually used as lodging so many centuries ago... Of course there is live Azeri music every night and even shows with belly dancer! The price is very good and there is a huge variety of both local and continental dishes. The staff speaks English and are very friendly. All the dishes are absolutley great, especially the Azeri national meals. Go for pilaff or try the fried sturgeon with palmgranate! Yummyyyyy :)
Lezgi mosque
by josephescu
We are used to remember the large religious buildings, impressed by their dimensions and maybe by the futile effort put in constructing them. But the rule “the larger – the prettier” is misleading. This 12th century mosque was my favourite in Baku.
Fountain square
by josephescu
Is the famous not for its fountain, an oblong, cement structure installed during the Soviet era, but for the stately 19th & 20th century buildings on the square. Many shops, restaurants, and outdoor cafes, as well as a number of bars frequented by foreigners, lie within walking distance of one another, making the square Baku social hub.
