Practical tips for Azerbaijan
- The local currency is the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN); while cards are widely accepted in Baku, keep cash handy for small shops, rural bazaars, and traditional teahouses.
- Download local ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Yango for cheap and transparent taxi rides, avoiding the inflated meterless rates of street cabs.
- When visiting mosques and sacred shrines, dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees, and remove your shoes before stepping onto the carpeted prayer floors.
Fun fact about Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is home to nearly half of the world's mud volcanoes, which gurgle with cold, mineral-rich mud rather than hot molten lava!
