Astara Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Minibuses to Lənkəran (AZN1, 45 minutes) and night buses to Baku depart from the north end of the central square, two minutes’ walk north of Hotel Şindan. A taxi shouldn’t cost more than AZN10, including a stop at Yanar Bulağ, though drivers at the border post want twice that amount. Remember to double-check if they’re demanding Manats or Shirvans.

Day buses to Baku depart from a bus stand 2km north of centre. The inconveniently located train station is an AZN3 taxi ride up the coast.
