Enjoyed my visit to the Hairy Lemon bar near Fountain Square. Irish bars DO NOT serve Draught Guinness on tap only in cans at inflated prices. Best sticking to local beers such as EFES.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Really impressed by Baku. People respectful to each other and to visitors. Great architecture. Good and cheap Metro system. Good community atmosphere with many families enjoying communal areas in the evenings. (People drive VERY fast in this city!)

What a lovely City. So Clean and a good blend of Modern and Old Buildings. Would describe it as "Where East meets West". Better than Dubai. One thing that should be more evident is the Pricing. At least twice there was an attempt to rip us off.

Baku is a vibrant, exciting and safe city to visit for foreigners. English is widely spoken across tourist locations, hotels and the main airport. Baku is also extremely tolerant and flexible to a variety of cultures.
