I went for a Formula 1 race. What a beautiful city. I stayed in the old city- or inner city as they say. It is widely accepted that the Old City, including its Maiden Tower date at least to the 12th century, with some researchers contending that construction dates as far back as the 7th century.
Baku is a mix of old and new.
I was, of course, in Baku TV-Tower. 310 meter and it is the tallest structure in Azerbaijan and the tallest reinforced concrete building in Caucasus.
Baku has many signal buildings, huge avenues, state-of-the-art shopping malls, parks, museums and every cafe chain you can think of. By the way, coffee and electronics are quite expensive in Baku. Food and drinks, clothes, perfume and such are quite affordable. The people are wonderfully nice, helpful and attentive, but have poor English skills
