The Baku City Circuit runs through the centre of the city, which makes the Azerbaijan Grand Prix one of the most fan-friendly races on the calendar. Most fans walk to and from the grandstands each day from a central hotel.
Walking
Walking is the main way fans reach the circuit. Most central Baku hotels are within walking distance of the grandstands. The exact route depends on where you’re staying and which gate you’re entering, since road closures across central Baku during race weekend can change which streets are open.
Baku Metro
The Baku Metro runs across the city and is a useful way to cover longer distances if your hotel is further out. The 28 May station is one of the main interchange points and connects to the network from the airport bus.
Taxi
Taxis are easy to find in Baku and a useful option if you’re tired at the end of the day or want to avoid the longest walks. The road closures during race weekend mean drivers may need to take longer routes than usual.
After the race
One of the perks of a fully central street circuit is that there’s no race-day traffic to leave behind. Most fans simply walk back to their hotel.
In recent years, the race weekend has included evening concerts after the on-track action, with international and Azerbaijani artists performing. The line-up changes each year, so check the promoter’s website before travelling.
