Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit Azerbaijan?
Most nationalities require an e-Visa for Azerbaijan, which is easy to obtain online at evisa.gov.az for around $23 USD. Our package includes a visa support letter to simplify your application.
Is Baku safe for solo and first-time travellers?
Baku is considered one of the safer cities in the region, with low petty crime and a welcoming attitude towards tourists. Standard travel precautions apply, and the city centre is very walkable and well-lit.
What currency is used in Azerbaijan?
The local currency is the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN); USD and EUR are widely accepted at hotels and larger restaurants. We recommend carrying some local cash for markets and smaller eateries.
How far is the hotel from the Old City?
Our recommended 4-star hotels in central Baku are typically within 10-15 minutes' walking distance from Icherisheher Old City. This makes it very convenient to explore on foot.
Are vegetarian or halal food options available?
Azerbaijan is a Muslim-majority country so halal food is widely available across all restaurants. Vegetarian options are also plentiful, with dishes like vegetable plov, stuffed peppers, and fresh salads common on menus.
