Question 2

Is Baku walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Baku is very walkable in Icherisheher, Fountain Square and along the Seaside Boulevard. The Heydar Aliyev Center, the Fire Temple and Gobustan are outside the core and need transport.

The Baku Metro covers the centre, with stops at Icherisheher, Sahil, 28 May and Nizami on the Red and Green lines; ride to Nariman Narimanov or Khatai for the Heydar Aliyev area, then continue by bus or a short ride. For comfort and to reach suburban and desert sights, consider a private tour in Baku.
