Credit cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants, and larger shops in Baku. However, outside the capital — in rural areas, local markets, and smaller towns — cash in Azerbaijani Manat is strongly recommended.

Azerbaijan is a safe and welcoming destination for tourists. Baku in particular is a modern, well-patrolled city. As always with international travel, stay alert in crowded areas and follow standard travel safety practices.
Is English widely used in Azerbaijan?
English is spoken in Baku's hotels, major tourist sites, and upscale restaurants. However, outside the capital, Russian is more commonly used as a second language. Learning a few Azerbaijani phrases is warmly appreciated by locals.
Can I combine my visit to Azerbaijan with another country?
Azerbaijan is perfectly positioned for a Caucasus multi-country tour combining Georgia and Armenia. You can also pair it with Turkey or Iran. Our popular 14-day Caucasus combo tour covers the highlights of all three countries.
