Discover the captivating allure of Azerbaijan with this comprehensive travel guide.
1. Get Yourself Registered
If you are planning to spend more than 10 days in Azerbaijan then it is important to register yourself at the State Migration Service when in Azerbaijan. Usually, hotels or hostels that you have booked take care of this formality to avoid any inconvenience to their guests. Those who are planning to stay in Airbnb have to take care of this formality on their own. You only need to register once during your stay.
If you fail to do so then you may have to pay a hefty fine when going back to your country. Therefore, this is one of the most essential tips for Azerbaijan visitors.

7.Know The Language
When traveling to a new country, it is always important to learn some common phrases of the new language. The official language spoken in this country is Azeri which is a Turkish dialect. Luckily, you might find some locals speaking English but that is rare so don’t keep your hopes high. In rural regions, locals do not speak any of these languages. Instead, they have their own local language like people in the village of Lahic have their own version.
8.Taxi Scams
While traveling from the airport to your hotel or desired destination, it is advisable to not choose taxis from outside the airport. They charge a massive amount of money from tourists thus it is advisable to book Uber or Yandex taxis. It will not be a hassle to find these taxis as they are easily available at reasonable prices.
9.Local Transport
One of the best ways to travel within the Baku city is via metro as it is the cheapest and fastest way to traverse around. But if you look for comfort traveling then you can opt for taxis. But it is vital to learn the skill of bargaining here as the taxis charge around 10 times more than the original amount from travelers.
10.Crime
Crime levels in Baku are generally low, but muggings do occasionally occur after dark in the city center around western bars and clubs and near dimly lit entrances. Take reasonable precautions: be vigilant, avoid carrying large sums of money and do not walk alone at night. Try to be picked up or dropped off as close to the entrance of your hotel or apartment as possible by a private/company driver or a known taxi company.
You can report a crime at any local police station or by phoning the police on 102. English speaking staff are available on the phone, but when reporting a crime at a police station take someone with you who can interpret. Do not sign any document that you do not understand.
Be aware of occasional reports of foreign residents who are asked to
paperless payments during car journeys or medical care.
If you think you have been mistreated by a government official, you should report your case to the relevant government department
