At the start of August 2019, we traveled to Baku Azerbaijan.
For me, this was the first time in Azerbaijan. Our trip here was in the framesĀ celebrate a birthday in one of the former Soviet Union member countryĀ capital cities, so far we have been to Yerevan, Tallinn, Vilnius, Kyiv and now Baku
To get here, we booked a train ticket from Tbilisi and traveled from Tbilisi central station. Before entering Azerbaijan we had to apply for e-visa online (which has to be done some 5 days before departure).
Now, huge was our surprise arriving in Baku and trying to buy return trainsĀ tickets to Tbilisi - it turnedĀ out every ticket was sold out. We were left with no other option but to book a direct Baku - Tbilisi flight from Baku airport (see:Ā About Buta Airways Baku - Tbilisi fight)Ā
Anyhow, this was one of the best birthday trips so far, we booked a 5-star hotel at Fairmount Flames tower, used taxi ride app to ride in (and out) the city. And spent our time in some of the best Baku restaurants. Keep reading to learn more.
