    Azerbaijan At-a-Glance

    Bordered by Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, and the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is a cultural crossroads with a deep Turkic heritage and a strong Persian influence. Azerbaijani (Azeri) is the official language, and Islam — primarily Shia — is the dominant faith. The capital, Baku, is famous for its hyper-modern flame-shaped skyscrapers, UNESCO-listed Old Town, and buzzing waterfront boulevard. Oil, gas, and tourism keep the economy thriving, while recent infrastructure improvements make traveling easier than ever.

    Other things to know before you go

    Azerbaijan is generally safe, modern, and easy to navigate, with Baku offering excellent public transport and walkable neighborhoods. English is widely understood in tourist areas, though learning a few Azeri phrases earns you instant friendliness points. The climate varies, think hot summers, mild winters in the lowlands, and cooler mountain weather year-round. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and be mindful of local customs. Visa processes are straightforward thanks to the e-visa system, which simplifies entry for many travelers. Enjoy the diversity. Azerbaijan thrives on contrasts.
