Fountains Square (Fevvareler Meydani)

Nizami Street. Visit one of the most famous shopping streets in Baku and find something to take home with you. Nizami Street, also known as Targoviy Street, hosts myriad shops, restaurants, cafés, and coffee shops.

Azeris are a fairly progressive Muslim society, yet still public displays of affection are considered inappropriate, even in the center of Baku, so don't be surprised if you get scolded by a local when ”smooching” your other half on the street. Azeris are quite liberal when it comes to clothing.

Tips to stay safe on your Azerbaijan Trip Avoid carrying large sums of money or valuables in public. Be cautious when using credit cards or ATMs. Only use ATMs in well-lit and crowded areas. Report any crimes to local police, and bring an interpreter if needed.
