Is Baku safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I felt very safe in Baku. The city overall felt very clean and since I was Turkish there were no language gap for me. I met new people and they were all very nice and respected. The food and sightseeings were amazing. There are many different things to do in here.

Family travel

Its indeed very disappointing to say that baku is not at all safe for women at night specially women who are travelling alone. Every men around you is obnoxious and would stare you as if he is going to rape you. Day 1 till day 5 most of the men i met were very vile and bad and all they would look at you as if they would rape you even try to eve tease you and if you revolt back they would make sure you learn a lesson for pointing out the inadequate behaviour of men towards you.

I arrived to Baku through Ganja because the tickets are way cheaper than reaching Baku directly. Ganja is one of the historical cities in Azerbijan and you can enjoy one day wandering around the city then to head to Baku through the train, it takes around 3 hours and it was super comfortable and I advice you to get the tickets ahead of time. In Baku I stayed in Zamzam hotel and its very affordable hotel and close to the center. In Baku I personally found Bolt the best way to move around the city as its cheap and easy to use. I recommend Azerbijan for female solo travellers because its safe and you will enjoy each moment in there. The food, places and people all were great.

Baku is generally a safe city with low crime and welcoming locals. I have met female travelers and expats who often report feeling comfortable exploring the city, even in the evenings. As with any city, it’s best to stay aware of your surroundings, avoid poorly lit areas at night, and use trusted transportation apps or hotel-recommended taxis.

Baku felt very safe for me whilst solo travelling there! Amazing city of old and modern! Highland park had incredible views overlooking the city and great photo opportunities I stayed in the old town which was so convenient and gorgeous to explore

Baku is very safe, I walk around at night all the time and never felt not safe. Guys do not approach you or cat call you. Also public transport is safe to ride as well as taxi. So, woman should not be afraid of walking around alone.

I walked around in the evening, never got catcalled or even uncomfortable stares, felt very safe even in the small streets of the old town. People seem very caring especially about women travelling alone.

I would say the city is very safe and I usually come home at night times, after 10 o’clock, to 1 am. And I would say I didn’t experienced anything except 1 time. An unknown car stopped and waited for me at 12, but I ran away. So l just suggest you to be cautious and careful, otherwise l wouldn’t worry much.
