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.
Posted: September 24, 2023I 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.
Posted: April 21, 2023I loved it. I only spent a few days there, but I had a great time. I stayed at the Sultan Inn, where there are many walking spots. It's a bit touristy because it's an old town, but I felt extremely safe there and there's a lot to see. I highly recommend a day trip to the mud volcanoes as well.
Posted: April 17, 2023I traveled alone to Baku and it was completely safe. I spent a wonderful 3 days there. I stayed in a hostel. There is a lot to do, a beautiful modern city with a wonderful old part of town.
Posted: April 16, 2023I fell in love with Baku. The city mixes old and modern in a very interesting way. It's a very pleasant city to live in and cheap according to Western standards. I felt extremely safe there.
Posted: April 13, 2023I visited Baku last summer and it was quite safe there. I fell in love with the architecture, and the local Azerbaijanis were very friendly.

As someone who has been living in Baku for 21 years, I would describe it as a totally safe city. As safe as it is, I would still recommend everyone to be careful as you never know what might be coming

It is absolutely safe. You can visit Haydar Aliyev Sarayi, the Xalca Museum, and walk along Nizami Street. If you would like to see places outside of Baku, I would definitely advise you to go to Gabala, Guba, Sheki, and, of course, my favorite place, Ismayilli.
