About this experience
Colorful, noisy, and unique Eastern bazaars are a hallmark of Baku and one of its main attractions. In one day, we will visit the most interesting Baku markets, where you will taste delicious baklava with a cup of Azerbaijani tea, breathe in the aromas of spices, and sample fresh fish caviar. I will show you the places where locals shop, help you choose colorful souvenirs from hand-painted armudu glasses to patterned tablecloths, and of course, teach you how to bargain Azerbaijani style.
What to Expect
Colors of the Eastern Bazaar
The bustling Baku bazaar will greet you with the aromas of spices and long rows of stalls selling Azerbaijani sweets! Rahat-lukum, sudzhuk, halva, and baklava - you will not only learn all these names, but also taste them thoroughly. I will be your guide at the Eastern bazaar, help you navigate its colorful variety, and choose national delicacies. I will also share local tips and tell you which products are better to buy at the market and which in large supermarkets.
Flavors of Baku: From Bejmez to Black Caviar
In Baku, you can find fresh fruits, honey, karenja, bejmez, the best Azerbaijani cheese, and local tea at any time of the year - we will also definitely try all this at the Baku markets. And afterwards, if you wish, we will move on to a real Azerbaijani delicacy: I will show you where to buy the best fish caviar in Baku, tell you about its taste qualities and nuances of tasting. And if you decide to buy this exquisite treat, I will be happy to help you negotiate and get a good discount.
