How Sodalit works in Baku

Open the app and you see plans posted by people around you, sorted by distance and mostly for today and tomorrow. Join one, or post your own in one sentence: what, when, where and how many people.

Everyday plans come from members, so what you find depends on who’s nearby. Themed tables are different: Sodalit plans them at selected venues in the city, so you can simply pick one and go.

Plan ideas for Baku

Coffee and a walk in İçərişəhər

An hour, two coffees and the Old City’s side streets. The easiest first plan there is.

Sunset on the Boulevard

A walk along the Caspian through the seaside park, timed for golden hour, and for when the xəzri calms down.

Nərd, chess or a board-game night

Backgammon in a çayxana, chess in the park or Catan with tea. Post “one more for nərd?” and see who replies.

Speaking club, your way

Practice English, Russian, Turkish or Azerbaijani one-on-one or in a small group. Pick Language Exchange.

Padel or tennis

Find a fourth for padel or a hitting partner for tennis, with a skill level so the match stays fair.

A day out of the city

Plan a road trip to the mountains or the Absheron beaches with people who want to go too.

Examples of plan types, not listings. Open the app to see what’s posted near you right now.
