The best time to visit Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan packs a lot of climates into a small country. Baku sits on the Caspian, windy and mild; two hours inland the Greater Caucasus foothills around Sheki and Gabala run several degrees cooler and get real snow. Spring and autumn suit the whole itinerary at once, which is why most visitors come between April and June or in September and October. Here is what each season offers.

Spring in Azerbaijan: Novruz, wildflowers and green foothills

The country wakes up in spring. Novruz, the Persian new year, falls on 21 March and fills courtyards with bonfires, sweets and street music. By April the foothills around Sheki and Gabala turn green, the orchards flower, and Baku settles into the high teens and low twenties Celsius (60s F) — warm enough to walk the Old City and the seafront boulevard without a coat. Hillside roads that are closed or icy in winter reopen.

June to August

Summer in Azerbaijan: the Caspian heat and the mountains as escape

Baku reaches about 31°C (88°F) and the humidity off the Caspian makes it feel heavier, though the famous wind takes the edge off most afternoons. This is when Azerbaijanis themselves head inland: Gabala and Sheki sit several degrees cooler, with forest walks, waterfalls and long evenings. It is peak season for the mountain resorts, so book ahead, and keep Baku sightseeing to the morning and the evening.

Autumn in Azerbaijan: harvest, pomegranates and the clearest light of the year
September to November

Autumn in Azerbaijan: harvest, pomegranates and the clearest light of the year

September and October are arguably the best weeks of the year. The heat drops to the mid twenties Celsius (mid 70s F), the Caspian is still warm enough to swim, and the countryside turns to harvest — grapes, quince, and the pomegranates Azerbaijan is known for. The light is low and clear, which flatters the Sheki Khan Palace and the Caucasus ridgelines. By November the foothills are cold and the crowds have gone.

Winter in Azerbaijan: snow in the Caucasus and Baku without the crowds
December to February

Winter in Azerbaijan: snow in the Caucasus and Baku without the crowds

Baku is grey, windy and around 7–9°C (45–48°F), but it rarely freezes, and the Old City, the carpet museum and the tea houses are at their most atmospheric with nobody in them. Inland it is a different country: Sheki and Gabala drop below freezing at night and the ski resorts at Shahdag and Tufandag run through the season. Pack a proper winter coat if the itinerary leaves the coast.

Essential information about Azerbaijan

Where the Caucasus meets the Caspian: the walled Old City of Baku, the stained-glass palace of Sheki and the forested hills of Gabala. Here is what to know before you go.

Capital
BakuA walled medieval Old City with three glass flame towers above it, on a bay of the Caspian Sea.
Currency
Azerbaijani manatAZN. Cards are fine in Baku, but carry cash for Sheki, Gabala, village tea houses and the roadside markets in between.
Visa
e-Visa required for mostMost visitors apply online for an ASAN e-Visa before travelling: single entry, 30 days, about US$25, usually issued within three working days. Your passport must stay valid for at least three months beyond the visa. Check the rule for your own passport before booking.
Trip length
6–10 daysBaku and the Absheron peninsula in about three days. Add Sheki, Gabala and the Caucasus foothills for a week or more.
Language
AzerbaijaniRussian is widely spoken, and English is common among younger people in Baku, less so in the mountain towns.
Time zone
UTC+4Azerbaijan does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so it stays four hours ahead of GMT all year.
Plugs
Types C and F220V. European two-round-pin sockets, so UK and US plugs need an adapter, and single-voltage US appliances also need a converter.
Getting around
Buses, shared taxis and a private driverBuses and shared taxis link Baku with Sheki and Gabala in four to six hours. A private driver is the practical choice for the mountain roads, and Baku itself has a metro.
Carry a scarf for mosques

Azerbaijan is secular and there is no dress code in the street, but cover shoulders and knees inside working mosques, where women also cover their hair.

Carry cash outside Baku

Cards are widely accepted in the capital and much less so beyond it. Change money at banks and keep small notes for tea houses and markets.

Pack layers for the mountains

Sheki and Gabala run several degrees cooler than Baku all year and drop below freezing at night in winter. A warm layer matters even on a summer trip.

Drink bottled water

Sealed bottled water is the easier choice, and it is worth carrying a bottle on the longer drives between towns.

Take out travel insurance

Choose a policy with medical and cancellation cover, and check that it includes winter sports if the trip takes in Shahdag or Tufandag.
