Baku has a good, reliable public bus service that is reasonably priced – just 0.30 AZN per person per ride. Buses can take you to almost any destination within Baku. The newer buses are comfortable and spacious during the day, but morning and evening rush hours should be avoided due to the crowds of commuters. Destinations are usually posted on the front and right side of the bus.
Baku Metro, with 23 stops, is not just a form of transport, but an attraction in itself. Each station is adorned with fantastically ornate, sometimes garish designs glistening under brilliant chandeliers.
The best way to get around Baku's city center is actually on foot. Fountains Square and Torgovaya (Nizami) Street are pleasant pedestrianized areas to stroll along. The 3.7 km (2.3 mile) long Baku Boulevard is a favorite place for locals, expats and visitors to promenade, rest and chat throughout the day and evening.
