Baku Grand Prix Travel: Hotel Areas and Transfer Planning
The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix races through the streets of Baku. In 2026, it takes place on Saturday 26 September.
The Baku City Circuit winds past the walls of the Old City and along the seafront, which makes it one of the most scenic street races on the calendar. In 2026 the race is on Saturday 26 September, the first time it has been held on a Saturday.
Where to stay
The Old City, the area around Fountain Square and the Boulevard put you within walking distance of much of the action, and the Metro connects other districts. Book early, because rooms with a view sell out first.
Transfers and tips
Plan your walking route in advance, use the Metro for longer trips and choose a hotel with a late breakfast. Private transfers from Heydar Aliyev International Airport make arrival simple.
Our event packages pair hotel stays and transfers with grandstand tickets where available.
