Azerbaijan’s picturesque geography is crisscrossed by the Caucasian range and on a recent wellness trip, we hardly had any time left to explore the exotic country properly. But with half a day left to ourselves before we caught the flight back to India, we decided to make the most of it by navigating across the famous parts of Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital. If you too are anywhere in and around the country and have a couple of free days in hand, we’d suggest you not miss Baku — a melting pot of tradition and modernity. Baku, known for the still waters of Caspian Sea and its historic Inner City is fast becoming a popular destination for tourists from across the globe and the city will constantly remind you of Dubai and Paris in equal parts. With only five hours in hand, we decided to amble around the main city centre and began our adventure with Icheri Sheher or the famous Inner City, which covers a small radius of about two kms.
