Baku (Baki) Practical information

Money & costs

Money

ATMs are common throughout Baku. Most accept foreign credit cards and many allow withdrawals in both AZN and US dollars. Exchange facilities don’t charge commission and are nearly as ubiquitous. Rates are excellent for US dollars and pretty competitive for euros. For Russian roubles and pounds sterling, rate-splits are poorer (around 4%). Various other currencies (including Georgian lari) can be changed too, though on less favourable terms. Some exchanges open late into the evening while most banks shut by 4pm. The best rates are usually available on 28 May küç at Vurğun Gardens.
