  • Azerbaijan ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official portal (ASAN Visa); lookalike sites charge extra.
  • Azerbaijan ↗Azerbaijan's land border with Armenia is closed to ordinary travellers, and several governments advise against travel near it and in the former conflict areas because of mines and military zones. Read your own government's current advice before you book anything outside Baku and Absheron.
  • Azerbaijan ↗Do not photograph military sites, government buildings or oil and gas installations; drones need a permit.

Ganja is Azerbaijan's second-largest city, in the west, on the road and rail route toward Georgia. It has a historic quarter, a mosque and a pedestrian centre. Many visitors use it as a stop between Baku and Tbilisi.
