  • This country has cold winters and hot summers, so pack accordingly! It can be a year-round destination for travellers depending on what you’re looking for. During the summer many residents of the country’s capital Baku escape to the Absheron Peninsula.
  • Wondering what to visit here? Comparisons are often drawn with Dubai because of the lavish architecture in Baku.
  • Azerbaijan has breathtaking scenery, particularly in the Guba region, and it has more mud volcanoes than any other nation in the world!
  • The local currency is the manat. It looks very similar to Euro banknotes, but each note has an image related to different aspects of Azerbaijan identity. It is a very affordable country to visit as a tourist.
  • The main language here is Azeri, a Turkic language similar to Modern Turkish. Russian is widely spoken, but English not so. Have Google Translate to hand if you’re outside the main tourist areas!
  • Azerbaijanis are very hospitable folk. In more rural areas, you may find yourself being invited for a cup of tea served in the typical way: with jam!
