Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital, is a city that beautifully balances tradition with modernity. As a solo traveler, I couldn’t help but get lost in its mix of ancient architecture and sleek, futuristic buildings. Walking through the old town (Icherisheher) feels like stepping back in time, with its narrow alleys, historical mosques, and ancient walls.
But just a short walk away, you’re greeted by stunning skyscrapers like the Flame Towers that light up the skyline at night. It’s a city that surprises you at every turn!
Baku is also incredibly easy to navigate, and the locals are warm and helpful, making it a perfect destination for a solo trip. You’ll find plenty of cafés and spots to relax, all while soaking in the unique vibe of the city.
### Why I Recommend It:
- The contrast between the historical charm and cutting-edge architecture is fascinating.
- The Caspian Sea promenade is a great place to relax and take in the views, especially at sunset.
📍 Address: Baku, Azerbaijan
