Heading to Azerbaijan? Here’s everything you should know before your trip! The country is generally safe, but keep valuables close and stay alert in busy spots. Major cities like Baku have good medical care, but rural areas are limited—carry travel insurance, essential medicines, and always drink bottled or boiled water. Most visitors need an e‑Visa, valid for 30 days, available online with standard or urgent processing. If you stay over 15 days, register with the State Migration Service to avoid penalties. Respect local customs—dress modestly in rural areas and mosques, ask before taking photos, and enjoy the famous tea culture served in pear‑shaped glasses. For sightseeing, explore Baku’s Old City and Flame Towers, the Gobustan petroglyphs and mud volcanoes, Sheki’s historic palaces, and Qabala’s mountains and lakes for adventure. Plan smart, respect traditions, and you’ll discover Azerbaijan’s unique culture, rich history, and stunning landscapes.
