Our guide
Baku, Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, surprises many travelers with striking modern architecture alongside an old town that's a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a Jewish community that has lived there continuously for centuries. There are direct flights from Israel, a relatively short trip. The city has several kosher food options: 7/40 restaurant near the central synagogue, and Rimon Kosher. It's recommended to contact the central synagogue before arriving to coordinate and get updates.
Our recommendations
- Contact the central synagogue in advance to confirm current opening hours of the kosher restaurants
- The Old City (Icherisheher) is a UNESCO World Heritage site - worth a few hours of walking
