  • Finally, I land in Baku the Capital Of Azerbaijan. I Travelled to the city centre using the Express Shuttle Bus Service. The city centre central railway station is called 28th May. Other than bus you can use Bolt or Indriver app for cabs. But do not pay heed to the touts who can scam you with exorbitant rates.

    Thank you for the great video and info. Does the airport shuttle take you to old town? How far is the city center from old town? Would I need to take a taxi/bus from city center to old city or is it at a walkable distance? Solo traveler here who will be visiting Baku for 3 or 4 days. Thank you.
    Ps. Which hotel in Old City do you recommend (besides Four Seasons)

    • @travelwithsounak
      @travelwithsounak  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No airport shuttle takes you to 28may station. From there the old city is 3kms. You can book a bolt or uber . There is a toll of 2mannat to enter the old city by vehicle which you have to pay the driver. Best hotel in old city are countless. You can stay in mine. The link is there. But beware old city is a heritage place and no hotels will have lifts. So choose ground floor else you have to walk upstairs.

      @@travelwithsounak So Bolt is better than taking the airport shuttle basically? Because if i take the shuttle and it drops me off at 28 May station its pointless because ill still need a ride 3km down to the old city. Thank you for the great info. Much much appreciated! Esp note about no lift in most hotels in old city. Makes sense. Which hotel do you recommend in that area? There are so many but I dont know which one would be ideal? Everyone says Four Seasons but some said their breakfast is a joke even though its a 4+ star hotel. Shah Palace hotel some said the tubs there leak but its a historic hotel. Old City Inn I've seen video on it, its good for location but quite old from inside. So what do you suggest? Also is the carpet museum walkable from the old city?

      Yes I took transit visa as my pnr were different and airlines were different. However beware if your time between two flights is less than 8 hours then you will not get a transit visa, the website will say not required. But this means you are actually stuck it’s a weird glitch of the system. Airports in India won’t even give you boarding pass, So ensure to book flights having more than 8 hours layover .
