Travel Tips

Visit in spring or autumn for comfortable weather. Pack layers for variable temperatures and comfortable walking shoes. Respect local customs such as modest dress when visiting religious sites. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen in summer. Use local currency for small purchases and carry some cash. English is not widely spoken outside tourist areas, so learning basic Azerbaijani or Russian phrases helps. Keep an eye on personal belongings in crowded places.
