Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Baku Airport (GYD) to Ateshgah Fire Temple takes about 25 min by car on an empty road (25–35 min in heavy traffic) over 18 km. Our private transfer costs €25 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €35 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the landside arrival hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), on the first level after baggage claim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
The Ateshgah Fire Temple stands in the settlement of Surakhani on the Absheron peninsula, only about 10 km from the airport, which makes it one of the shortest trips from the terminals. The route follows Heydar Aliyev Avenue towards the city for a few kilometres, then turns south into Surakhani along local streets lined with houses and old oil fields. It does not enter central Baku. The temple is part of the city of Baku, inside the Surakhani district.
Ateshgah is a walled courtyard built in the 17th and 18th centuries by traders and pilgrims from India, with small cells around a pentagonal yard and a domed altar in the middle where a fire burns. The fire once came from natural gas seeping out of the ground; today it is fed by gas piped to the site. The complex is a state historical and architectural reserve with a museum in the former cells. Cars stop at the parking area in front of the entrance gate, and a visit usually takes about an hour.
Public transport instead: Aero Express (airport express bus, route H1) H1 from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) to 28 May metro station / Baku Central Railway Station (stops: Surakhani Bridge, Koroglu metro station) — about 15–30 min, every 20 min 06:00–23:15, every 45 min at night (24/7); paid with the BakıKart card, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Ateshgah: the H1 bus passes Surakhani Bridge on its way to the city, and the temple lies in the settlement of Surakhani a few kilometres from that stop.
