Hello everyone, and happy belated holidays to all! I want to clearly warn everyone who is flying or planning to fly to Baku! We are Muscovites, we were in Baku from January 4 to 8, 2026, and here is what I want to write: do not listen to anyone, taxis do take cash, and in the apps Yango, Bolt, Uber our Russian cards do not get linked. Not a single one ☝️. Exchange manats into small bills, because most (not all) taxi drivers do not give change, for some reason they just don’t have it)). And here is what we noticed: the tastiest food is cooked in the cafés and restaurants of the Old City, yes, yes, even though the Old City is kind of for tourists, but judging by our “research” of the food scene, the food there is really the most delicious! And also, buy a local SIM card. Roaming with Russian mobile companies barely work at all ))) Wishing everyone kindness. Peace and health!
