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.

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!

Yes, I felt safe. I stayed in a small hostel, it was very cheap but not very clean. Transportation was very simple and also cheap, so I downloaded the Bolt application for transportation. Azerbaijani food culture is very rich, I am sure you will like most of the restaurants. I went to a local restaurant called "Shirvanshah" and I liked it very much. There is also a very nice museum you can go to, its name is "Heydar Aliyev Center".

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 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.

I spent the entire week in Baku. I stayed in two different hotels, which cost me 33 dollars and 70 dollars per night. In total, I spent about 1200 dollars for the week. I booked three full-day tours directly and paid in cash, which was much cheaper than booking online. As a woman, I traveled alone and it was safe.

I was in Azerbaijan for only a few days. I really loved the one-day trip to Gobustan (mud volcanoes, cave drawings, Yanardag, etc.) Bolt was very cheap, so I used it to get around.

I went to Baku alone from Tbilisi (my first solo trip) and I really enjoyed it. Overall, I felt quite safe - I was followed by a few child pickpockets on the promenade, but this phenomenon is common in many cities. A large part of Baku reminds me of Europe, with a slightly oriental touch, and everything is easy to explore on foot (I walked around on my own and it was fine). I recommend using Uber or Bolt in Baku, as taxi drivers there try to cheat people.

This city is a very safe city. I think it is a city where you can feel comfortable. You can walk around freely in the evenings and no one will bother you. You can find people and police everywhere you can ask for help.

It is really safe place. If we consider that everything is under control it makes us comfortable. No one can kidnap you or do some sexual things or even make you worry about it, not possible. If you're normal person on her own way, no one will disturb you
