Discover Baku

Baku is the jewel of the Caspian Sea. Rising from the ashes of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan made its business in the oil trade, and the resulting riches were invested back into Baku making it a beautiful destination for any traveller looking for an extraordinary blend of Europe and Asia.

Baku is a wonderland of modern construction and has incredibly intricate and mind-bending architecture, such as the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center, an unusual construction which hides fine art, artefacts recovered from the Soviet era and so much more between its fascinatingly bendy walls.

Visit the old town to get a feel for the 12th-century Baku. Taste a flavour nexus of Middle Eastern and European cuisine at high-class restaurants, and find enchanting trinkets, curios or odds & ends from an era past at the ancient markets.

Many airlines offer direct flights to Baku from a range of cities around the world. Consider booking your tickets in advance, as prices can fluctuate, especially during peak seasons. Alternative Airlines can help you find flights to Baku that fit within your budget and travel preferences, whether you are looking for direct flights or a multi-stop trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What language do they speak in Azerbaijan?

The official language of Azerbaijan is Azerbaijani (or Azeri). While Azerbaijani is the dominant language, you might also find some people speaking Russian, especially among older generations, due to historical ties with the Soviet Union.

Which season is best to visit Azerbaijan?

Spring is often considered the most ideal time. The weather is mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from comfortable to warm. The lowlands are green, and wildflowers are in bloom, especially in the mountainous regions as the snow melts. It's excellent for sightseeing in cities like Baku and for exploring natural attractions like Gobustan.

Is it safe to visit Azerbaijan?

Generally, Azerbaijan is considered a safe country for tourists, and many visitors have positive experiences. However, like any travel destination, it's essential to be aware of certain risks and take precautions. Travel advisories from multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to this region and within 5km of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border due to the potential for armed conflict, landmines, and unexploded ordnance.

We advise you to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, evacuation, and trip cancellations, and always keep proper identification on you in case you are randomly asked by police, which is not uncommon in these regions.

What are some travel tips for visiting Azerbaijan?

  • Respect Local Customs: Azerbaijan is a secular but culturally conservative country. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or rural areas, and be mindful of public displays of affection.
  • Be Cautious of Unofficial Taxis/Scams: Use official, metered taxis or ride-hailing apps (like Bolt or Uber) for transportation. Be wary of individuals approaching you with unsolicited offers or posing as police.
  • Avoid the Armenia Border/Nagorno-Karabakh Region: Due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and the presence of unexploded ordnance, strongly avoid travel to the Armenia-Azerbaijan border area and the formerly disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
