Baku, Solo travel
I felt very safe during my solo trip in Baku. They really try to take good care of public safety. Everyone was kind to me wherever I went. The only downside is that not many people speak English, but everybody tried their best.

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.

It was good; the food was amazing. I felt safe because it’s a Muslim country, and the people are good. Azerbaijan has beautiful nature, and what I love most are the food and the people. Baku is also beautiful; the night view of Baku is amazing.

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.

Mostly Baku is very safe city so you can enjoy even night times There are some far away places where people ( mostly men) are conservative, so it is not recommended to walk at night, but overall all the areas are safe for women

Baku is a very safe city for tourists. People are very friendly and always ready to help. All tourists who come here are always pleasantly surprised at how kind and responsive the people here are.

I have lived here all my life. Baku is generally a safe city with low violent crime, and most areas feel secure. However, gender issues exist, such as unwanted attention toward women and traditional attitudes in public spaces.

About me
I love traveling and discovering new places ✈️🌍 Over time, I’ve realized I prefer slower travel: spending more time in one place instead of quickly hopping between cities or countries. I’m especially drawn to exploring smaller cities and local spots beyond the big tourist hubs 🏘️✨
