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.

Best food in the Caucasian region. I felt completely safe all the time, the people are awesome and friendly! So many things to see, I loved the carpet museum the most, but the Mini Dubai feeling is incredible too!

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.
Posted: January 7, 2024Experienced: November, 2023Baku is stunning, pristine, well-maintained, with futuristic modern buildings and a very hospitable population. It is full of contrasts, with orthodox Muslim women on one hand, and on the other hand, there are liberal and free women dressed according to the prevailing atmosphere.

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’m 37 and a mom of two wonderful kids. I absolutely love traveling and have explored many beautiful corners of Europe — though I haven’t made it to Asia yet, it’s definitely on my list! I’m passionate about reading and dancing — both bring me so much joy. These days, I’m enjoying a peaceful life outside the city. I’d be happy to show you around or share a cup of coffee together.
