Slovak president reveals his favorite walk through Baku

Slovak President Peter Pellegrini named one of his favorite walking routes in Baku in an interview with AnewZ TV.

He said he liked the synergy between history and modernity in Baku.

"Every time I come to Baku, I see something new. But despite the new buildings, you still keep the Old City in good condition. When you walk from the boulevard toward the old historic tower - the Maiden Tower - you enter Baku's small historic streets. I really like that, and I like this synergy: history is well preserved, while the 21st century is also felt in the streets," he said.

Pellegrini also praised the spectacle of Formula 1 races held in Baku, noting that the city's old streets add contrast and make the race more visually impressive.

"When you watch Formula 1 on television, the views are so beautiful. So I really like this connection between the old and the modern, and I see the progress taking place in Baku year after year," he said.
