Questions for first time visiting Azerbaijan
Hello! I’m trying again since my post got taken down last time. (Why admin?)
Im visiting Azerbaijan for the first time soon and I will be traveling around the country for 6 days. Therefore I have a few questions, since it’s my first time.
Which taxi-service is recommended in Baku and Gandja? I’ve downloaded the Yango app, is it okay?
I’m driving around in a hirecar most of the time. Is there anything I should be aware of? (Other than speeding Ladas and Mercedes lol)
I’m a amateur photographer and hope to take quite a few pictures there with my camera. How does people in provincial Azerbaijan respond to that? I speak a little bit of Russian, so I can quite fast explain that I’m a harmless tourist who’s just fascinated by the country and its people. (I will of course always ask before taking a picture of somebody)
Is it possible to visit the Nargorno-Karabakh region at all? Or do you have to go through a military checkpoint?
And last question: it’s says on my Wizz app (the airline I’m travelling with), that Baku airport only accepts a physical boarding pass, not a mobile one. Is that really true?
Hope somebody can answer at least some of my questions 😅 thanks!
