Visiting Baku, Azerbaijan


The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Persian capital, through its oil boom to its Soviet occupation. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.

The rooms were OK, except for a strange odor that you quickly get accustomed to. The food is bearable. The minibar is actually refilled every day (most of the other hotels have an empty minibar) more
