Heading back to the airport

For the return trip, Aero Express leaves the 28 May / railway-station area for both airport terminals. Allow extra time for traffic and your airline’s check-in deadline.

Return bus information ↗

Find your ticket entrance.

Use the entrance on your ticket. Check the organiser’s arrival instructions before travelling.

Arrival & return advice

Match the ticket: Use the entrance and authorised crossing named in your current ticket or the official Baku City Circuit app.

Choose the correct side: A nearby metro station does not guarantee a short walk through the street-circuit barriers.

Stations & pickup points
  • Central city handoff for the boulevard. The station is not a circuit entrance; use the authorised crossing and the gate on your ticket.

  • Old City-side handoff. The inside and waterfront sides of the circuit are separated by barriers; follow the current event route.

  • Change to the metro for Sahil or Icherisheher, then follow the appropriate pedestrian entry instructions. Confirm the H1 stop location before travel.
