Weather, climate and travel time<\/h2>\n\n
Each region has its climatic peculiarities, but the country knows little rainfall. Along the coast the climate<\/strong> is relatively mild all year round. It is more rainy in the warm and humid south around L\u0259nk\u0259ran. In the exclave of Nax\u00e7\u0131van,<\/a> the thermometer can drop to minus 25 degrees in winter and climb to plus 40 degrees in summer. G\u0259nc\u0259 and \u015e\u0259ki are two of the coldest regions in Azerbaijan, with an average daily maximum temperature of only 20 degrees.<\/p>\n\n Touristically interesting are the months of June, August and September. The best time to travel<\/strong> to Lahic with its steppe climate is from May to September. It is not uncommon for the temperature to reach 30 degrees in July. In 2013 the first ski resorts were opened in the Greater and Lesser Caucasus (in Q\u0259b\u0259l\u0259 and in Qusar). The ideal time to visit Azerbaijan is April to June, before the summer heat sets in with an average of 26\u201333 degrees and the summer vacations begin. Since Azerbaijanis travel a lot in their own country, it gets crowded everywhere. During the summer months, the water temperature of the Caspian Sea is 21 degrees or more.<\/p>\n\n The Ab\u015feron Peninsula<\/a> has a steppe climate. There is a lot of sun, little precipitation, but now and then very strong winds. Baku is not called the “City of Winds” for nothing. On such days, visibility does not clear up because sand from the desert is blown into the city with the wind. The Azerbaijani capital counts an average of 284 sunny days per year and only one or two rainy days per month. From October to March there are rarely more than six rainy days.<\/p>\n\n Daytime highs are 25 to 30 degrees from June to September, or 35 degrees in recent summers, 5 to 10 degrees from December to March, and something in between in other months. Nighttime lows are 19 to 23 degrees from June to September, 1 to 5 degrees from December to March, and 8 to 15 degrees in other months. In winter, temperatures can drop below freezing, but only at night. Ice and snow are rare, but possible in December, January, February and March.<\/p>\n\n The objectively best months with good weather guarantee are May to October. In April, the (European) trees in Baku start to blossom, and there is wonderful photographic weather. From June to August, however, it gets very hot, but stays dry. You should definitely look for a hotel with air conditioning. September and October are ideal months, even if the days are already getting shorter. February is the coldest month of the year. In winter it is dark early and often overcast, but November can still be very beautiful.<\/p>\n\n A country as diverse as Azerbaijan offers numerous unforgettable destinations. But some of them are more for connoisseurs. We have summarized more on this page about Azerbaijan<\/a>. In any case, the following places in Azerbaijan are must-sees:<\/p>\n\n The places just described represent a top 10 for a trip to Azerbaijan. However, there are many other exciting places that many tourists may not yet have on the screen:<\/p>\n\n For travelers from most Western countries a passport valid for 3 months after departure is sufficient. Some temporary passports are also accepted.<\/p>\n\n Everyone who wants to travel to Azerbaijan needs a visa (E-visa). Tourist visas are valid for 30 days and easy to get online. A copy of the passport must be scanned and paid for by credit card. After three days at the latest, you will receive the visa as a PDF (without photo) and print it out. It must be presented upon entry. An extension of the visa is possible at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Baku.<\/p>\n\n International visitors must register with the State Migration Service within 72 hours of arrival if they intend to stay in the country for more than 15 days. Those staying with friends or acquaintances must register themselves. Hotels usually take care of this service.<\/p>\n\n To start your Azerbaijan trip, logically, you must first come to Azerbaijan. Here we will show you what travel options are available.<\/p>\n\n The safe and comfortable Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL),<\/strong><\/a> which has been operating since 1992, takes you directly to Baku. Ukraine International Airlines<\/strong><\/a> offers flights from several Western cities to Baku (with a stop in Kiev).<\/p>\n\n Driving a cab is still very cheap in Azerbaijan and the best choice for a day trip from Baku. However, if you want to make a round trip or drive inland, it makes sense to take a rental car, preferably with four-wheel drive. The road system is surprisingly good, but speed traps lurk at every corner. In any case, there are plenty of gas stations!<\/p>\n\n In recent years, airports have also been built in smaller cities in Azerbaijan. There are direct connections from Baku to G\u0259nc\u0259 and to Nax\u00e7\u0131van.<\/p>\n\n Between Baku and Tbilisi in Georgia, there is a brand new night train that runs through the Caucasus. There are also train connections in the country itself, e.g. from Baku to G\u0259nc\u0259, \u015e\u0259ki and L\u0259nk\u0259ran, but the trains usually run only once a day. From the central bus station in Baku, buses go in all directions, also several times a day.<\/p>\n\n There is a metro only in the capital Baku. Currently, there are two metro lines. The stations and carriages are similar to those in other cities of the former USSR. The metro is fast and cheap, but in the city center there are only two stations from which you can get to the outskirts of the city. The airport is to be connected in the near future.<\/p>\n\n Cabs operate in all cities. In Baku, there are the aubergine-colored Baklanjan cabs, which are real London cabs. You should not expect to speak foreign languages, but you can get by with Russian.<\/p>\n\n In Azerbaijan you will surely want to try the local cuisine. This article from Christian Lang<\/a>, which lists the most important dishes of Azerbaijani cuisine, will help you.<\/p>\n\n The standard of Azerbaijani hotels has improved significantly in recent years. In Baku there are recommendable hotels in every category. For little money you can even stay in the old town. Reviews on sites like Expedia<\/a>* are helpful.<\/p>\n\nThe climate at Ab\u015feron and in Baku<\/h3>\n\n
