Baku provides a rich mixture of shopping experiences, from modern malls to small boutique shops to
traditional bazaars. For those wondering if Baku is expensive, rest assured that there are both upscale
and very affordable shopping options available.
Among the most popular shopping malls in the city are Park Bulvar, Ganjlik Mall and Port Baku Mall.
Located at Baku Boulevard, Park Bulvar is undoubtedly the most famous. The complex is Baku's first
modern shopping center with a 3D cinema, a playground for children and many restaurants. Adidas,
Benetton, Mango, Lacoste and Pierre Cardin all have shops here. You will also see a similar choice of
brands and attractions in Ganjlik Mall, although on a larger scale, as the complex is said to be the
biggest in Baku.
Port Baku Mall caters to customers searching for more high-end brands such as Burberry, Alexander
McQueen, Giorgio Armani, or Givenchy. The mall stands side-by-side with several luxury auto salons,
including Ferrari and Porsche.
If you wish to combine shopping with an experience of modern Azerbaijani culture, head to Nizami
Street, named after the famous poet Nizami Ganjavi. This bustling pedestrian avenue, full of souvenir
shops, outlets and supermarkets, is a hotspot for shopping addicts. Plus, the street has splendid
architecture featuring a fusion of styles from Baroque to Neo-Gothic, in addition to many stylish
restaurants and hotels. At night the area is brightly illuminated, making it the perfect neighborhood for
evening exploration of the city.
Of course, you cannot leave Baku without experiencing its traditional market culture, and the best
place to do this is at Icheri Sheher. Along the historical streets of Baku's Inner City, countless vendors
sell Azerbaijani carpets, ceramics and jewelry, while other stalls offer typical souvenirs such as fridge
magnets or key chains. Try bargaining for a better deal, as items are sometimes overpriced.
A couple of kilometers north of Icheri Sheher lie two famous local bazaars, Taza and Yasil.
Taza Bazaar (New Bazaar) is, contrary to its name, one of the oldest markets in Baku. It is a massive
venue with six different entrances. You can buy a variety of fresh products here, including fruit, nuts,
herbs, oriental spices, Beluga caviar and fish from the Caspian Sea. Yasil (Green Bazaar) offers a similar
assortment and experience, although people particularly appreciate this market for its selection of
dried fruits. At Yasil Bazaar you can also buy organic vegetables, meat, fish and spices. If you want to
see the bazaars at their liveliest, come early in the morning. If you prefer to avoid the crowds, visit
during the day or in the evening. The markets, particularly Yasil, are open until late, so you can explore
them at a leisurely pace.
