Markets, tea and the taste of Baku.
Browse Taza Bazaar in the morning, then walk or use the metro towards Nizami Street and Fountain Square. Finish in the Old City’s caravanserai quarter, leaving time for tea and a meal of your choice.
On foot, with a metro shortcut between the 28 May and Sahil areas if needed.
Ask prices before ordering or buying and mention dietary needs directly. Tastings and meals are not included in this guide. Compare shops rather than treating the first quote as a fixed price.
