Yashil Bazaar a world of aromas Located a little further from the city centre, Yashil Bazaar (Azerbaijani for Green Bazaar) is Baku’s largest food bazaar packed with organic (and often exotic) fruit and veg, herbs and spices, nuts and dried fruits, juices, compotes and jams, as well as local delicacies like caviar and saffron. Strolling from row to row will allow you to experience a world of flavours and aromas from diverse corners of the country. Hence this is one of the most popular food shopping spots among Baku locals. Vendors will be happy to assist and let you try before you buy, but don’t be afraid to haggle over prices. Get ready to experience the hustle and bustle of an Eastern bazaar!
