Seychelles International Airport is your welcoming gateway as you depart from the paradise island of Mahé. This warm and friendly airport is located approximately 12 kilometres southeast of the capital and offers attentive staff dedicated to making your journey stress-free.
When considering transport to the airport, a taxi is the easiest option; however, be mindful of potential night-time surcharges if you have an evening flight. Alternatively, buses run regularly every 20-30 minutes from the capital’s centre, or you may utilise the limousine service offered by many hotels for VIP guests. Please note that parking is extremely limited, so using public transport or taxis is the most practical solution.
Upon arrival, head to the main terminal's Departure hall for check-in. Although the airport is relatively small, security checks are thorough and lengthy, so allow yourself about one to one and a half hours to complete both check-in and customs clearance. For your comfort, facilities are adequate, including Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. You can enjoy light snacks and beverages from the coffee bars, or a meal from the restaurant which serves food until the early evening. Remember to avoid taking photographs while at the airport due to the operational military base situated near the runway.
Baku is a dynamic metropolis where rich history meets bold, modern architecture on the coast of the Caspian Sea. As the capital of Azerbaijan, it boasts a unique combination of Asian and European cultures.
The city's buildings create striking contrasts that will leave you in awe. Icheri Sheher, the UNESCO-listed Old City, features intricate stone carvings within its fortified walls, while the Heydar Aliyev Center is celebrated for its futuristic design. In the evenings, discover why Baku is nicknamed the ‘City of Winds’, as the iconic Flame Towers illuminate the skyline with a spectacular light display.
For a taste of local life, explore the atmospheric cobbled streets and stroll through local markets. You'll find traditional Azeri crafts and renowned regional cuisine such as pilaf and qutab. To see thousands of exquisite woven masterpieces, visit the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum.
