Azerbaijan Travel Forum

So, im going to baku to study for a couple of years. Now I need to find a flat. Someone told me to go to bakurealestate.net but they havent replied and I have emailed them twice. I dont know if they are serious or not.

How can I find a flat in baku? With furniture. I dont want to pay more then 700 dollar per month and im willing to sign up for 1 year contract.

What should I do? Thanks, Johan

I read somewhere here that you can obtain a visa at the embassy in Tbilisi and that it is prox 3 days. Can any recent travellers confirm this?
Secondly, does anyone know if it is possible to get an azeri visa at the embassy in Ankara and if then how long does it take?
Last, What does a visa for Azerbaijan cost?
Regards Anna

I am sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, I am new to this forum and I am trying to find out how it all works... But why on earth do you have to have your temperature measured when leaving Azerbaijan? This sounds completely weird and absurd, almost Monty-Python-like... Must be a joke, for sure?

Are there direct flights from Baku, Azerbaijan to Turkmenbashi, Turkmenistan? I'm planning to go to Baku in June and was thinking that it would be great if i could fly direct to Turkmenbashi and back to Baku a couple of days later as my schedule is quite tight. Maybe i can go by ferry but from what I've read, the service seems to be unreliable. Can anyone advise me if direct flights are available?

Hi, has anyone travelled by bus from Baku to Sheki and back? I have tried without success to find out information on the Net. An alternative would be an English speaking driver and car. Also would we need a 4x4?
Kind Regards

I'm planning on a rail trip around Europe. I don't have much information on how I can get to Baku by train. Could anyone give me some piece of info? Thanx

I saw the hotel tip about "Park Inn Azerbaijan" written by Minai. The weblink doesn't work! Any one has a link to this hotel with some reviews and clear picture.

I also would like to know the surrounding villages, where people still live in a simple life (no much traffic, no much asphalt & buldings, ...) I like those countryside areas. I need a guidance and info for those areas.

Hi I'm trying to get my best friend a flight out of Baku to Jakarta without it having to cost her nearly $1,000. Is this possible? Can anyone tell me where to search? Thanks.

Hallo everyone,

I am looking for a lake called Kazan Gel (or something similar). Googling and other web searches were unsuccessful.

Maybe someone here can help me... Where exactly is it? Which cities are close to it, so that they can serve as a base for excursions to the lake and the area?

Thanks a lot!

I know this was on the forum earlier, but no one ever gave an answer. I'm going to Azerbaijan in May, and I've heard nothing but raves about the Karvansaray Hotel in Sheki. I want to be sure I can reserve a room there, so I'd prefer to e-mail or fax them a request now, from the States. Does anyone know the contact info for them, besides just their phone number? Or a reputable agency that can make the reservation for me without much of a fee?

Thanks!

Hi!

After my stay in Georgia I will be heading to Azerbaijan overland. And for the trip to Azerbaijan I have a few questions and I would be very happy, if someone could help me.

Is it easy to travel from Tbilisi to Saki in one day by bus or matrushka and is it realy necessary to reservate a room in the Karvansaray Hotel in Saki in advance (I will be there in october during the week)? If so, does anybody know where can I book my room in the Karvansaray Hotel in Saki?

I have heard a couple of times that it's not a big deal to get the Azeri Visa at the Azerbaijan embassy in Tbilisi/Georgia. Can someone tell me some details about it? How long does it take and do I still need an invitation letter and a hotel booking for Azerbaijan in advance. Is it really easy to get that Azeri visa in Tbilisi? As I fly out from Baku (back to Germany) I don't wanna get in trouble, if some problems maybe arise.

Thank's very much for your help!

Hello,

I will be traveling with my wife from the USA to visit her parents in Baku in a few weeks. I am an American citizen and She is still a Russian citizen. We want to stay for about 10 days. I have been told I can get a Visa at the airport if I have a travel voucher. I'm not sure what a travel voucher is. I have also been told I should get an invitation. An invitation from who?

I have also been told I don't need any thing to get a visa. Just get the airline tickets and get my Visa Can anyone sort this out for me?

I was told that this train is no longer running. Does anyone know if that is correct?

Hello, I intend to visit Azerbaijan in September with a friend, we are both English. We plan to enter the country overland so I believe we will have to get a visa in advance. Has anyone got one from the Azerbaijan embassy in London recently? I must make a specific trip up to do this but if it only takes 3-4 days this should not be a problem. A letter of invitation is supposedly needed; will a booking confirmation from a hotel in Baku be sufficient? In which case can in be for any period in which I wish to be in the country or should it be for the dates on which I want the visa to begin. I ask this because I dont want to go straight to Baku but travel accross the country stopping in places before I arrive in the capital. Hopefully all this will be Ok, but if there is a problem I dont have much time left in England; is it possible to get a visa in Tbilisi? Thanks in advance for any help! I look forward to visiting.

Hi there,
I'm trying to find out how easy it is (or whether it's possible) to cross from Azerbaijan to Armenia. Is it at all possible to cross from Armenia into Nakhchivan? Am planning a trip in the Caucasus in August and am trying to work out a feasible route! If anyone can help me by answering my query (and if possible suggesting border crossings/locations) that'd be very helpful!
Thanks,
Si

Hey! Five guys want to visit Azerbaijan in summer.
We plan to spend 3-4 nights in the capital. Can you advice us the cheapest accommodation in the city centre not much than 50$ per night for all of us? Then we will go round Azerbaijan regions: Sheki, Guba, Khanalig etc.By the way, had somebody heard about Nabran? We’ve found out that it is somewhere on the border with Russia and there are several good youth camps on Caspian Seaside. How can we reach there and how much we should spend. Is the level of pollution in Caspian Sea is too high, may we swim?

Hello,

I am planning to visit Azerbaijan this summer with an American friend, including Georgia and Armenia, all by land, almost one month.

I guess I need to enter from Turkey into Armenia through Georgia. What about the border pass between theese three countries? Armenia-Azerbaijan?

I heard that Armenia asks visa even from my special passport. Can I get at the border?

I guess the first country seems to be Georgia. After, which route is more logical: Turkey-Georgia-Armenia-Azerbaijan-Turkey?

Any tips, "do"s and "don't do"s?

The most exciting part of this travel will be meeting,talking and partying with locals for me. Anyone wants to meet?

My main points during all my travels are; history and culture, long walks, visits, talks during daytime; meet and party with locals at night.

Acommodation in Baku and other cities?

I will highly appreciate any recommendations and friendly help.

Best wishes.
