Baku, home to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, is one of the fastest street circuits in the world with speeds of up to 340kph. The Herman Tilke designed Grand Prix circuit combines the fastest straight in Formula One and some tricky corners through the narrow streets of this truly unique city.
With a direct flight time of 5 hours and 30 minutes this is not a European round of the World Championship so the cost is reflective of this, however you will be positively amazed at the incredible value of food and drink on offer in the city. Prices are low and the welcome is warm!
Baku is the largest city in Azerbaijan and has a fascinating blend of cultures as East meets West. At the Azerbaijan Grand Prix drivers have to really work hard on this difficult circuit which meanders through both the UNESCO listed medieval walls of the city along with the super modern buildings lining the edge of the wonderful Caspian shorefront of Milli Park. A sprinkling of chaos is usually guaranteed at what many now see as a real highlight on the calendar.
Surrounded by deserts and the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan's elegant capital Baku blends East and West, an ancient city on the Silk Road with cutting-edge architecture.
