Şәki Getting there & around

Getting there & away

There are several useful services from the bus station (44617; Rəsulzadə küç). For Baku via İsmayıllı and Şamaxı, marsh­rutkas (AZN6, seven hours) depart approximately hourly between 6.30am and 5pm or later, supplemented by big buses around midnight. A shared taxi costs AZN12 per person. Şəki train station is a whopping 17km south of town. A nightly train to Baku departs around 10pm but you can’t always count on getting a ticket for same-day departure.
