Tourists coming from Istanbul are surprised by the attitude toward cats in Baku
Tourists coming to Baku after Istanbul record and share videos of cats roaming freely in Icherisheher and the attitude shown toward them.
Among the stone walls, narrow streets, carpets, cafes and shops of Icherisheher, cats behave completely freely — as if they have their own passage permit here. Tourists coming from Istanbul to Baku film and share precisely this scene, and say that the attitude toward cats in Azerbaijan surprises them.
According to what the source writes, this is about the daily life of the old city with a history of several centuries: here, alongside tourists, cats are also comfortably visible in the streets, next to cafes and shops.
From a tourism perspective, this is a small but real detail. The travel impression is created not only by sights but also by the daily atmosphere of the city. Such frames captured on a tourist's phone play a part in shaping the perception of the country.
For cafes and restaurants in Baku, this means that the presence of cats at the entrance, in the courtyard or on the terrace is an ordinary scene for a visitor. Simple steps such as providing them with food and water work in the guest's eyes toward the ambiance of the place.
