A day to do the tourist thing in Baku.
We purchased a Metro card for the old Soviet built underground railway system built over forty years ago. The system only has two lines so no chance of getting lost. A single journey costs about twenty cents so it is very cheap and the service is well used. You descend a long way underground and apparently this is unique to this system.
The Metro got us to within a few metres of the Old City. First impression of the old city is - clean, well maintained and interesting. The old city has now been enclosed by not only the fortified walls but also the expansion of the new modern city.
Dubrovnik - Old city was magnificent and I believe Baku - Old city gives it a good run for it's money. Dubrovnik maybe the edge because of the rugged coastal views.
