About the bazaar

Abundance under one roof

The Yaşıl Bazar — the 'Green Bazaar' — is one of Baku's colourful food markets. Under its roof stretch rows of stalls with fruit and vegetables, armfuls of greens, pyramids of spices, dried fruit, nuts, cheese, pickles and sweets. It is loud, vivid and smells delicious.

A bazaar in Baku is not just a shop under a roof but part of city life: a place where people bargain, offer tea, choose the ripest pomegranates and discuss the news. This site is a guide to the Green Bazaar: its rows, its goods, its atmosphere and how to get there.

Where colours and tastes meet

Step under the roof of the bazaar and the colours surround you: ruby pomegranates, golden dried fruit, scarlet peppers, emerald greens, multicoloured mountains of spices. Each row has its own scent, each seller their own 'try this'.
