When to visit

The best time to visit Azerbaijan is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be hot, especially in the lowland areas, while winters can be cold with snowfall in the mountainous regions.

Getting around

Getting around Azerbaijan is relatively easy with various transportation options available. Baku, the capital city, has a well-developed metro system, buses, and taxis. For exploring other parts of the country, there are domestic flights, trains, and buses. Renting a car is also an option for those who prefer more flexibility.

Traveller tips

Make sure to try Azerbaijani cuisine, known for its delicious kebabs, pilaf, and baklava. Respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites. Dress modestly, particularly in rural areas and religious sites. Carry cash as credit cards may not be widely accepted outside of major cities. Learn a few basic phrases in Azerbaijani to communicate with the locals. Be cautious of your belongings and avoid crowded areas to prevent pickpocketing.
