FlyArystan connects the two coastal cities of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. By booking flight tickets Astana - Baku, you can find yourself in "East Paris" as the inhabitants of the region call it.
Baku is a city that combines the dynamics of a modern metropolis and the flavor of a rich oriental culture. Also called "the city of winds" is located on the coast of the Caspian Sea, has a mild warm climate in all seasons, and is suitable for both beach holidays and active walks along the ancient narrow streets. It mixes modern unique architecture and historical buildings dating back thousands of years.
Baku is nicknamed "Eastern Paris" for its houses built in the French style but in oriental, desert shades. The cuisine of Baku is also not inferior to the Parisian one. Here you will be served generous, fresh portions of Caucasian dishes with the famous Baku caviar, which was appreciated both in the USSR and now.
We offer an extensive route network, which makes it possible to find a suitable connecting flight from your city to Baku.

Must-visit places of Baku
The most famous sights of the city:
- Maiden's Tower. An ancient fortress building that has become a symbol of the capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The religious building of the pre-Islamic period, according to the assumptions of archaeologists, was a temple of fire.
- Heydar Aliyev Center. The cultural center, which unites the Heydar Aliyev Museum, exhibition halls, and the "Auditorium" congress center, primarily attracts tourists with its unique appearance. Smooth transitions of edges and the absence of sharp corners are the result of the work of a famous architect of our time - Zaha Hadid.
- Old city. The main historical area of Azerbaijan. The most important sights and ancient streets are concentrated here, introducing the spirit of the country. The Palace of the Shirvanshahs, the Maiden Tower, the Shemakha Gate, the Mosque of Muhammad, the Bazaar Square, and other equally important sights have been preserved in this area.
- Palace of the Shirvanshahs. The former residence of the rulers of Shirvan. Eastern palace complex, built between the 13th and 16th centuries.
- Towers of Flame. The highest buildings resembling tongues of flame are the face of modern Azerbaijan. The towers are located on a hill, so a beautiful view of the whole of Baku opens from here. It is highly recommended to visit this place at night.
- Baku Crystal Hall. An unusual sports and concert complex was built in 2012 for the Eurovision Song Contest. The crystal-like building is located by the sea and is especially beautiful for its evening lighting.
