Baku is a Horrible Place!

Please save yourself from racial and social tensions and DO NOT go to Baku. People are extremely rude. There are no places to go there. The Caspian sea stinks very badly. The streets are full of thrash and wholesale plastic bags, poly bags. The service is slow. They overcharge the bill and lie about the prices on the dishes. The food is below average. They have selective service. They are very disrespectful towards females and people that are not from the same background. They ignore foreigners. Asking for the bill twice is a normal thing to do in their restaurants and it takes half an hour for the bill to come. The worst experience ever there and will NEVER go there again.

The people are always trying to steal or con money from you. My opinion is if you dont have to go then dont!!!!! This will never be a tourist destination as there is nothing to do or see. Please take my advice and steer clear

The cab drivers assume, because you are foreign, they can lie to you about how much a taxi costs. The waiters have NO IDEA what the words "customer ...
