Synopsis

Azerbaijan and its coastal capital of Baku are on the crest of a wave. Swimming in profits from oil and gas, this former Soviet republic by the Caspian Sea is where the Persian, Ottoman and Russian empires converge. Baku reflects this rich history, its lucrative seaboard lined with sumptuous mansions whilst overlooking the bay, new five-star hotels with their panoramic high-end restaurants and sky bars. Down the coast and inland await mysterious mud volcanoes, the rare birdlife of the vast Shirvan National Park and the opulent Khan Palace of Sheki. The Time Out Baku city guide will take you to the right restaurants, best bars and most bizarre sights in the area. *Baku sights *Baku hotels *Baku restaurants *Baku bars *Baku shops *Baku maps

Author Bio
Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what's happening in the world's greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
