Old City or Boulevard — which area is better?
Old City puts you inside the historic walls, walking distance to Maiden Tower and the bazaar quarter — best for a first visit. The Boulevard/Flame Towers area has the Caspian views and most of the 5-star towers, better for travelers prioritising modern luxury and seafront walks.
How far is the airport from central Baku hotels?
Heydar Aliyev International Airport is roughly 25 minutes from central Baku by car, traffic depending. All our packaged tours include airport transfers in both directions.
Is it worth paying for a Caspian Sea view?
If it's within budget, yes — Baku's seafront and skyline genuinely look best from height, particularly at sunset. Otherwise an Old City location offers comparable atmosphere at a lower price point.
