Azerbaijan boasts a setting influenced by Asia and Europe. Its variety of landscapes give travelers a feel for both urban and rural life.

Quba is located in the northeastern part of the country. It appeals to all travelers but particularly those attempting a more quaint stay. The city is known for carpet making. But, you will also find Russian, Jewish, and more modern day influences around every corner. Sights in Quba include a History Museum, synagogues, and a castle to explore. Consider journeying to nearby Xinaliq for a hike to stunning views.

Azerbaijan offers an experience hard to find in any other country in the world!

Azerbaijan has a dry, semi-arid steppe climate. This means it is not as susceptible to rain. The three regions of the country are rather variant. You will find the descriptions below:

  • Lowlands – Any area of the country below sea level, which amounts to about 45 percent of Azerbaijan. The spring is an ideal time to visit this area of the country.
  • Caspian Sea Region – Where Baku is located and part of the Abseron Peninsula. Visit this area of the country during the fall months or even the winter. Temperatures are milder due to the direction of sea winds.
  • Great Caucasus Mountains – Considered the highlands, located in the northern part of Azerbaijan. The best time to visit this region is in the winter for some great skiing and outdoor activities.

Azerbaijan is an area of low crime. Remain alert in crowded areas and keep belongings close. The most frequently reported crimes are burglary, pick-pocketing, or assault.

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has continued in Azerbaijan since the 1980’s. Stay out of any region having to do with this conflict or any demonstration involving it.

Driving is considered highly dangerous in Azerbaijan, especially in Baku. Often times, rules of the road are ignored which makes accidents frequent. Roads are often not lit and unkempt so drivers should remain vigilant. If you do choose to rent a car, routine traffic stops are common. Make sure you have identification with you at all times.

Public transportation is accessible and reasonably priced in Baku. The metro system is easy to navigate, and security is high, resulting in low crime rates within the area. Taxis are also available. Only to use taxis that are properly marked.

Right outside of Baku, is Yanar Dag. Here fire dances from the earth thanks to built-up underground natural gas. As time progressed and natural gas was in greater demand, fires around the country started to diminish. Despite this, Yanar Dag remains.

Yanar Dag is about 32 feet in length; the ambiance with the fire is a beautiful sight to behold. Marco Polo was the first explorer to mention these mysterious fires way back in the 13th century. Curiosity led to figuring out the cause of these underground driven marvels.

Journey to Yanar Dig from Baku in about 35 minutes by bus or sign up for a tour exploring the surrounding area!

Here are recommended items to bring along with you to Azerbaijan:

  • Medication and First Aid – It is always better to be prepared. Bring suggested medications by your Passport Health Specialist and a first-aid kit.
  • Sunscreen and Bug Spray – Sunscreen should be on your packing list even in the winter months. Look to invest in bug spray that contains at least 20 percent of DEET or more.
  • Clothing – Depending on the time of the year, different items of clothing are needed. Nights can also be cold. Do be aware of clothing customs before arriving in Azerbaijan. Prepare accordingly. A good pair of shoes is also suggested for the varying conditions.

There is one U.S. Embassy located in Azerbaijan. The U.S. State Department recommends signing up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This free program allows the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan to update you if any emergency or risks were to occur within the country.

Passport Health – Travel Vaccines for Azerbaijan

Overall rating: 5 stars – 2 reviews

“Will Use Them Again“
“The nurse was very helpful and knowledgeable of the travel needs for my trip to Azerbaijan”

“Great Clinic“
“I went to the clinic on Wilshire with only 1 week to go before my trip to Azerbaijan and the nurse that I spoke with was extremely helpful with her recommendations on which vaccinations I should get, which ones I was too late on, and what to look out for/avoid while I’m there, as well as remedies for other maladies that may happen while in country. I was also able to get a few vaccinations on the spot. Clinics like this are a great resource, as most doctors’ offices won’t necessarily have the vaccine stocked and ready to go (as this clinic does) and/or also may not know what vaccinations to recommend for the specific country that you’re traveling to. All in all a great resource for all health and travel-related issues, services, and questions!”
