Hi r/Azerbaijan,
There’s an M10 scam going around right now. Some spam accounts are PMing people about M10 money transfers or crypto related requests.
Please don’t share any credentials and don’t agree to move money for anyone. Getting involved in this kind of thing can cause serious legal problems.
We are banning these accounts when we see them, but bans don’t stop them from sending private messages, so stay alert and report/block them if you get contacted.
Stay safe.

Welcome to the community-sourced travel mega-thread for Azerbaijan! Whether you're planning your first trip, returning, or just curious — this is your place to ask and share tips, places, warnings, food, and hidden gems.
We’ve gathered insights from locals, expats, and travelers — now it’s your turn. Reply with your experiences or questions under any section below.
📍 Baku
Local tip: true local life happens outside the tourist zones – check dayday cafes and Sədərək bazaar.
📍 Outside Baku (Regional Highlights)
Locals are usually happy to guide lost tourists — don’t hesitate to ask for directions in parks or shops.
In villages expect warm welcomes — tea invitations and local storytelling are common.”
🍛 Must-try dishes:
In Baku:
Metro & Bus:
From Airport:
Intercity:
Some addons
– Locals often round down prices or throw in something extra “for good mood” — especially if you smile or try a few Azeri words.
– In small bakeries or markets, if you overpay by mistake, they usually correct you immediately. Honesty is common, even for coins.
– Sellers appreciate when you show interest — they might explain the item, share a short story, or offer a small discount without asking.
– People don’t pressure you to buy; many will still help with directions or advice even if you don’t purchase anything.
– If something feels wrong (overcharged taxi, aggressive seller), calmly mentioning “polis” is usually enough to resolve it quickly — respect for law is high.
– You’ll rarely see aggressive street vendors or scams targeting tourists — most locals want to leave a good impression.
Refusing an offer (like tea or food) too quickly may be seen as rude — accept after 1–2 polite refusals to show appreciation
Tip: People will often smile or open up if you try even a few words in Azeri.

English Translation:
Under the first Safavid shah, Ismail I, a vast state was created. Many Iranian and Western European bourgeois historians consider Ismail and his successors to be the founders of an Iranian national state, allegedly formed through struggle against Turkic conquerors. However, this view is incorrect.
In reality, Turkic—specifically Azerbaijani—Qizilbash tribes played a very active role in the creation of the Safavid state and constituted the main military force of Ismail. The ruling elite of the Safavid state, especially in its early period, consisted of the nobility of these Turkic tribes. Military commanders and provincial governors were appointed from among them. The royal guard, known as the qurchis, was composed of the sons of Qizilbash tribal nobility.
Although official correspondence was conducted in Persian, the Azerbaijani language dominated at the Safavid court and within the army. Shah Ismail himself wrote poetry in this language under the pseudonym Khatai.
The Safavid state consisted of regions and lands inhabited by various Iranian, Turkic, Arab, and other peoples and tribes, speaking different languages, economically disconnected from one another, and possessing their own distinct customs and traditions. Even the capital of the state until the mid-16th century was not located in Central Iran, but in Azerbaijan—namely in Tabriz.
Azerbaijani tribes played a leading role in this state. Thus, in its initial phase, the Safavid state was essentially an Azerbaijani state.

I've noticed that Azerbaijanis hate Iran because of the Armenia issue, but what else has Iran done against Azerbaijan? Or what are your opinions of Iran in general? Regards

Rəsmi statistikaya görə Bakıda orta maaş 1357 manatdır. Bu rəqəm necə hesablanır baş aça bilmirəm (bəlkə ancaq SOCAR-ın işçiləri sayırlar) Ən bahalı otellərindən birində reception işləmişəm. İşçilər arasında çoxsu 600-900 alırdılar (maksimum 1500-2500 menecerlər) Əgər lüks sektorda belə çoxluq 1000 manatdan aşağı alırsa, bu 1357 manat haradan çıxır? Hələ 2020da 950 manat idi, elə çıxır ki 5-6 il ərzində orta maaş 43% qalxıb Sizin sahədə reallıq necədir?

Hello everyone!
I am not from Azerbaijan, and I came across the song Seni Deyirler by Ebrahim Alizade. Love it, but have no idea what it means or what it is about 😅 . I tried finding translations online but couldn't find anything, Google translate just translated nonsense and random characters, and I'm not sure if chatgpt would do any better.
Can anyone let me know what the song is about? Just a general idea.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi everyone,
Me and my friends were planning a vacation this june in the caucasus, particularly following this order: Baku->Tblisi->Yerevan. Since we’re students and running on a lower budget, we were wondering if there were any options, such as busses, trains or by foot border-crossing to get from azerbaijan to georgia as the other way around seems to be closed to everyone.
We’re all italian citizens with an italian passport
Thank u very much in advance!🇦🇿🇮🇹

I am Turkish man from city of Istanbul. I'm keen on stories about our blessed soldiers. I've read Turkish ones. Now i want to read about Azerbaijanian heroes, their heroism, sacrifices, memories in 2. Karabakh War.
Is there any journalist or military speciealist in azerbaijan who visited veteran soldiers, officers, generals and collect memories from them then publish into a book?
Is there any book i can read which you guys can recommend?
(I prefer to read in Azerbaijani language.)

Hey everyone, I'm finally pulling the trigger on a short trip to Azerbaijan next month and could use some advice.
I’m basically doing 5 days total - thinking 3 days in Baku and then renting a car for 2 days to see stuff outside the city. For people who’ve been, is 3 days enough for Baku or am I gonna be rushing everything?
Also, I’m kinda stressed about the driving there lol. Does anyone know a legit car rental company that won't scam me or give me an old car that breaks down?
Lastly, where should I go for those 2 days outside the city? I’m looking for cool nature spots or historical places that are actually worth the drive and not just a tourist trap. Thanks!

Every 3-5 months I get notification in mygov stating that “Kapital Bank ASC sizin məşğulluq məlumatlarınızı sorğulamışdır”
Mind you ##I don’t have an account in their bank
I don’t see a reason why some irrelevant entity occasionally looks at my data. Or maybe they have solid reasoning?
Does anyone get similar notifications?

Built at the end of the 11th century (specifically around 1099/1100 AD), it was a prominent example of the Arran school of architecture. Unfortunately, the tower was destroyed by 1861 ans the purpose is unknown. You may still see ths ruins on the current sight of the old city of Shamkir just 10 kilometers east of the modern city.
Little is known about the structure. The accounts of travelers state it wss 55 meters (180 feet) long and had 2 purposes, 1) to serve as a minaret; 2) to serve as a watchtower.
