Getting Around Quba
Marshrutkas stop on the main road near Qonaq Evi. Tell the driver 'Qonaq Evi' and they'll drop you close. Pay the conductor, not the driver.
Use Bolt or Uber in Baku; in Quba, negotiate directly with drivers at the rank. Avoid unmetered taxis after dark.
Buses are clean and air-conditioned; buy your ticket at the counter (cash only, small notes). Quba station is about a 15-minute walk or 3 AZN taxi ride to Qonaq Evi.
Agree on the fare before you get in. Official airport taxis have a fixed price board; ignore touts offering 'discounts'.
