Baku Hidden Gems: Bazaar, Culture, History and Street Food｜Azerbaijan

We will pick you up from your hotel and proceed directly to the first stop of ours: the Green Market. Here we will explore the ingredients of daily Bakuvian life: greens, pickles, dairy products, dried fruits, veggies and sweets that are great combination to tasty Azerbaijani black tea. Of course, lots of sellers like to give you the real taste, but sometimes it can be really bitter: some of them give the unreal price for tourists. We will be here for you to bargain for the correct price, so you leave Baku with better memories. Plus, you will get tips on how to choose the best ingredients and delicacies to take home.

Our second stop is a Miniature Book Museum, included in the Guinness World Records for its biggest collection of miniature books in the world!

Our next "secret" stop is located inside the labyrinths of Old Town area, where you will meet an old local artisan crafting exquisite works of art that will fill your heart and mind with impressions.

Another secret stop is located behind the History Museum. What makes that place truly special? Its beautiful murals hidden behind the not so obvious exterior of the building.

Our next stop will be a kebab restaurant, serving one of the best meaty street foods in Baku. If you're vegetarian, we've also got you covered with an alternative option.

What can be better than entering an old "chaikhana" (tea house) that serves black tea and Soviet style pastries? Here we go to one of the truly local gems that we embrace as locals.

Our last stop will be an old building, served currently for religious ceremonies and music events. You will learn a little bit more about the oil boom of Baku and how Germans actually ended up in Azerbaijan back in 19th century.
