  • Caucasus ↗The Armenia–Azerbaijan and Armenia–Türkiye land borders are closed; any route that crosses them is not a route, however short it looks.
  • Caucasus ↗Georgia treats entry to Abkhazia or South Ossetia from Russia as illegal; entering that way can mean arrest or a ban when you next reach Georgia proper.
  • 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.
  • Absheron ↗Baku is exposed to strong northerly winds (Khazri): cliff paths and viewpoints can be closed, and hats and light bags blow away.
  • Baku ↗Old City lanes are cobbled, stepped and mostly closed to cars: large suitcases go from the car to the door and never on a walk.
  • Baku ↗Use a ride-hailing app or your hotel's taxi: street taxis quote high fares to visitors, and the app fare is shown upfront.
