Azerbaijan
AZERBAIJAN
For the capital, Baku, a minimum of three to four nights allows you to visit major landmarks, immerse yourself in the culture, and enjoy the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
However, to explore beyond Baku and experience more of Azerbaijan’s diverse landscapes, historical sites, and cultural richness, a minimum stay of around seven to ten days is recommended. This duration provides the opportunity to visit regions like Sheki, Gabala, Gobustan, and the picturesque countryside.
BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
The prime times for visiting Azerbaijan are spring and autumn—April to June and September to November—offering pleasant weather for exploration. Summers are warm but bustling with festivals, while winters can be cold yet ideal for winter sports in the mountain resorts. Ultimately, choose based on your preferred climate and activities!
