The heart of the place
Bazaar
One of the biggest and noisiest markets in Baku. People come from across the city — for low prices, choice and that special thrill you only feel at a real bazaar.
The heart of the place
One of the biggest and noisiest markets in Baku. People come from across the city — for low prices, choice and that special thrill you only feel at a real bazaar.
The 8th km is not a tidy supermarket but a maze of stalls, warehouses and shops that lives by its own rules. Here people bargain, call out, weigh and argue over price as if their fate depended on it.
Bazaar
Vegetables and fruit, meat and fish, armfuls of greens, spices, nuts and dried fruit — the food section is considered one of the cheapest in Baku. Next to it: clothes, shoes, fabrics, household goods, tools, electronics and the famous rows of car parts.
The place has several nicknames — "the Eighth", "8-ci km", once "Vügar-2". The point is the same: if a thing exists, you can find it here, almost certainly cheaper than in the centre.
Trading rows
Bazaar
Formally the trade centre was created in 2000 and later passed under the management of "Riko Group", trading under the "Riko" sign. But to the people of Baku it is still simply "the 8th Kilometre".
The market sits in the Nizami district, by Kara Karayev Avenue and Jamshid Nakhchivanski Street, a stone's throw from Neftchilar metro station — which makes getting here easy.
The energy of trade
A price is not a verdict but the start of a conversation. Haggling here is not awkward — it is expected.
Callers, jokes, disputes — you hear the bazaar before you see the stalls.
Many come here on purpose: food prices are among the lowest in the city.
In spirit it is an old-school market — no gloss, but real thrill and warmth.
Prices, the make-up of the rows and the names change: the market is alive and constantly rebuilt. Before a big purchase it is best to check the details on the spot.
