The living heart of Baku! We stop only here and I advise you to do it) a place where both tourists and locals go, and you live there. That's great! Many hotels to choose from) not to mention restaurants with local cuisine and delicious tea from the samovar. I agree with those who write about the old housing stock without an elevator and possible problems with bathrooms. But these are such little things for a wonderful holiday with the singing of birds from the philharmonic garden, the smell of a wood-burning samovar, the opportunity to walk along the stone paving stones and feel like a rich local Icheri Sheher)) I recommend everyone to visit at least!
A string of streets, restaurants, very sociable, friendly locals. Take your time walking along the narrow streets, if you want to have a snack, you can always stop and sit in one of the restaurants.
A large shopping center. Beautiful, with a large huge space. We were very pleasantly surprised that there are films in Russian in cinemas. There is a good supermarket at the bottom. It is relatively not expensive to eat. But, of course, the quality is like in ordinary fast food. Not really tasty. But, you can try it once. There are beautiful views of the city, the bay and the sea.
