Where to stay for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix

A neighbourhood guide for quickest circuit access, Old City atmosphere, nightlife or airport connections.

01

Sahil and the city centre

Sahil offers a useful metro station near the boulevard and places restaurants and central streets within walking reach. During track closures, follow controlled crossings rather than assuming the direct street remains open.

02

Icherisheher

The Old City is atmospheric and close to the castle section, with historic sights and dining nearby. Cobblestones, gradients and event barriers may be less convenient for heavy luggage or reduced mobility.

03

28 May and beyond

The 28 May transport hub is useful for the railway station, metro and airport Aeroexpress terminus. It can be a practical base for visitors prioritising connections over being directly beside the circuit.
