How many days to spend in Azerbaijan?

Most visitors find that seven to ten days is the ideal length of stay to take in all of Azerbaijan's varied attractions. This allows you to fully experience the vibrant capital of Baku, with its mix of modern and ancient architecture, as well as historical sites like the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs.

If you have a week or more, you may also travel outside of Baku to see the tranquil villages of Sheki and Gabala, which are tucked away in the Caucasus Mountains, as well as the natural wonders of Gobustan, which is renowned for its historic rock carvings and mud volcanoes. These areas offer stunning landscapes, traditional Azerbaijani culture, and opportunities for outdoor activities.

If your schedule is tight, a shorter visit of around 3 to 5 days that mostly covers Baku and its environs can nonetheless offer you a flavor of Azerbaijan. However, for a well-rounded experience, a longer stay is recommended to explore the country’s rich history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality.

Before embarking on your journey, ensure you have the necessary travel documents. Most visitors will need to apply for an Azerbaijan eVisa. This process is straightforward and can be completed online. To begin your application, just go to our website. You will need to enter information about yourself and your passport. The eVisa allows for a stay of up to 30 days and is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. With your travel plans set and your eVisa secured, you’re ready to explore the wonders of Azerbaijan!
