Hitting the international radar as one of the world’s most ambitious and exuberant cities, Baku is the capital of the small, oil-rich country of Azerbaijan – located on the Caspian Sea, just north of the Middle East and bordering both Europe and Asia.
A cosmopolitan city of two million people, fast-growing Baku feels dynamic and youthful. Half of the population is under 30, which may account for Baku’s frequent listing as one of the world’s hottest spots for nightlife.
IN THIS UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE, SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS ARE THRIVING.
