Baku → Yanar Dag: key facts

Private transfer, Baku Airport (GYD) to Yanar Dag: the car (1–3 passengers) is €25 and the van (4–8) is €35, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 23 km on the road via Məmmədli yolu; about 25 min off-peak, 25–35 min in rush hour.

Pickup: 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. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Yanar Dag is a hillside on the Absheron peninsula where natural gas escaping from the ground has been burning for a very long time, about 23 km from the airport. The route follows Heydar Aliyev Avenue towards Baku for roughly 10 km, then turns north on the road through Boyukshor towards Pirshagi and reaches the site near the village of Mammadli. It stays outside the city centre. The last part runs past residential suburbs and open land typical of the peninsula.

The flames run along the foot of a low sandstone slope for about ten metres and keep burning in rain and wind. The site is a state historical, cultural and natural reserve with a visitor centre and a small museum, and a viewing terrace faces the fire. Cars stop at the parking area by the visitor centre, a short walk from the flames. Many visitors come in the late afternoon or evening, when the fire is most visible against the dark. Ateshgah and Yanar Dag are often combined in one trip, as both are on the peninsula.

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 Yanar Dag: the H1 bus runs into Baku, and the site lies on the northern part of the Absheron peninsula near the village of Mammadli.
