"The Land of Fire"

Azerbaijan Tourism

Azerbaijan, often referred to as "The Land of Fire," due to its ancient Zoroastrian roots, is located at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is a country with a rich history, diverse culture, and stunning landscapes. Bordered by the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia to the north, Iran to the south, and Georgia, Armenia, and Turkey to the west, Azerbaijan occupies a strategic position in the South Caucasus region.

Baku, the capital and largest city, is a bustling metropolis known for its futuristic skyline, historic Old City (Icherisheher), and vibrant cultural scene. The Old City is a testament to the rich Azeri heritage where you can visit many historical monuments like Maiden Tower and Shirvanshah Palace. The modern architectures of Baku such as Flame Towers and Heydar Aliyev Centre are a sight to behold. This coastal city has multiple opportunities for entertainment and recreational activities. You can take a Funicular ride to one of the highest points in the city, to enjoy the best panoramic views of the Caspian Sea and Baku's skyline.

Beyond Baku, Azerbaijan boasts a diverse range of landscapes, from the rugged mountains of the Greater Caucasus in the north to the arid plains of the Absheron Peninsula in the south. The country is also home to the UNESCO-listed Gobustan National Park, known for its ancient rock carvings and mud volcanoes, as well as the picturesque mountain villages of Sheki, Lahij, and Khinalug. Shahdag and Gabala are particularly popular winter destinations, offering ski resorts and winter sports facilities amidst the stunning scenery of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.

From the beloved national dish, plov, a fragrant rice creation, to the artful dolma, stuffed vegetables, and perfectly grilled kebabs, Azerbaijani cuisine offers a diverse array of flavors. The country is known for its silk textile and carpet weaving techniques, making them popular choices for souvenir shopping. Whether exploring the historic streets of Baku or trekking in the Caucasus Mountains, Azerbaijan offers something to captivate everyone.

Must Know Before You Travel to Azerbaijan

Climate: Azerbaijan experiences a range of climates, from hot summers to cold winters, so pack accordingly.
Registration for longer stay: If you are planning to stay in Azerbaijan for over 15 days, you need to register with the State Migration Service with a place of residence. Failing to do so can result in heavy fines or deportation.
Export rules: Obtain proper permits before buying antiques or cultural artifacts as it's illegal to export them without an official certificate and receipt of purchase. Export rules apply to religious objects, carpets, artworks, and caviar hence, check with local authorities before exporting them. One can carry only up to 125 grams of caviar once per calendar month outside of the territory of the Azerbaijan Republic.
Pets: If traveling with pets, obtain a veterinarian health certificate which was issued less than ten days before departure. This applies to cats, dogs, and most species of birds, except pigeons which are banned from entry.
Transport: Baku has a metro system that requires a rechargeable travel card called BakiCart (Baku Card) for payments. You can use minibusses called marshrutkas while traveling inter-city.
Navigation: Google Maps are not reliable in Azerbaijan. Use the Waze Maps for navigation.
Permits: You need permits to travel to many protected areas or border regions including the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Border crossing: It is not possible to travel directly to Armenia from Azerbaijan due to the ongoing conflict between both countries, hence you will be required to travel via a neutral neighboring country. Land borders between Georgia and Azerbaijan are also closed temporarily until further notice.
