How to reach Azerbaijan by train?

Several adjacent countries facilitate traveling via train in Azerbaijan, where Rail connections from neighboring countries are limited, with only a few routes leading directly to Baku. The following is an account of an interesting train journey into Azerbaijan: 

  • Georgia (Tbilisi to Baku): Depending on your sleep arrangement, it takes almost 12-14 hours to reach the last stop when traveling overnight. The train runs regularly on this route, but a backup reservation by the Georgian or Azerbaijani Railway Authority is recommended.
  • From Russia (Moscow to Baku): The long-distance train from Moscow to Baku takes about 40 hours. This special line passes through various Russian cities until it reaches Azerbaijan.
  • From other countries: There are currently no direct international passenger train services from Türkiye or Iran to Azerbaijan, but travelers can reach Georgia first and continue by train to Baku.

Travel tips: 

  • Details about the route and availability can be found on the Azerbaijan (ADY) website, as well as on the official Georgia and Russia railways websites.
  • Ensure you have the required visa and travel documents before you leave. You are still able to get a simple introduction experience by taking an e-visa, which is obtained before you enter Azerbaijan from the Azerbaijani Immigration Services website.
