### Baku City Circuit Overview Venue – Baku City Circuit Location – Baku, Azerbaijan Circuit Length – 6.003 km / 51 laps Venue Capacity – 20,000 (on race day) The Baku City Circuit, set in the heart of Azerbaijan’s capital, made its debut on the Formula 1 calendar in 2016 and has since become known for producing some of the most dramatic and unpredictable races in the sport. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the anti-clockwise street circuit blends tight, technical sections with long high-speed straights, including the 2.2 km flat-out run along Neftchilar Avenue where cars reach speeds exceeding 360 km/h. This 20-turn layout snakes past Baku’s most iconic landmarks, including the historic Maiden Tower and Government House, with one of the narrowest sections in F1 at just 7.6 metres wide. The contrast of fast straights and tight corners challenges both driver skill and team strategy. The track’s unique mix of modern cityscape and medieval walls provides a visually striking setting, and its tendency to deliver high-stakes racing has earned it a reputation as one of the most exciting events on the F1 calendar. ### How to get to the Baku City Circuit The Baku City Circuit’s central location makes it accessible via various transport options. By Train: Baku has a well-connected metro system, and the closest stations to the circuit are Icherisheher, Sahil, and 28 May. Icherisheher Station is located near the historic centre, while 28 May Station offers convenient access from many hotels and main transport routes. By Bus: Baku’s public bus network also serves areas around the circuit, although routes may be adjusted on race weekends. It’s advisable to check for changes closer to the event. Shuttle services may also operate from key points in the city depending on the race schedule. By Car: Due to its city-centre layout, road closures are enforced during the Grand Prix weekend.
