Let’s talk about Bak

Let’s talk about Baku’s dream combo: ancient palaces, Insta-worthy fountains, boutique hotels, and a city buzz that never quits! 😍 From medieval mysteries at the Palace of the Shirvanshahs to modern chill vibes at Fountains Square, here are my top places you MUST hit in Baku: Must-See Places in Baku: 🏰 Palace of the Shirvanshahs (9R8M+J6F): Step inside this fortress complex—open daily (10:00–19:00 Mon-Thurs, 10:00–18:00 Fri-Sat, 10:00–20:00 Sun)—and get lost in centuries-old architecture and royal legends. ⛲ Philharmonic Fountain (9R7J+QQW): Perfect for that golden-hour photo shoot—all-day access—right by the city’s music heart. 🏯 Maiden Tower: Don’t miss climbing this iconic tower for panoramic city views. Open 10:00–18:00 daily. Where to Stay: Da Vinci Hotel (10/12 Veli Mammadov): Value-packed boutique vibe, epic breakfast with four set menus, and shockingly good shower pressure. Ask for a room with views of the Flame Towers! Center Hotel Baku (Eziz Eliyev Küçesi 13): The ultimate location—close to the old city—plus cool AC, yummy breakfast, and super friendly staff. Hidden Gems: 🕋 Museum of Miniature Books: Quirky, niche, and so worth a visit. 🕌 Təzəpir məscidi: Elegant mosque with an unbeatable city panorama. 🛍️ Azerbaijan Carpet Museum: For serious color therapy, modern design, and textile heritage. 🍽️ Cafecity Fountain: Chill for a coffee break in the heart of local hustle. Baku Transport Hack: Use the city metro to skip traffic and save cash. Taxis are cheap but agree on a price beforehand! Money/Weather: ATMs everywhere, try to carry some AZN cash for local eats. Summers burn, pack sunscreen; winters = cozy layers! #bakutravels #azerbaijanadventure #carpetmuseum #boutiquehotels #cityviews#siberianpeople
