Travel guide: Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan combines thousands of years of history on the Caspian Sea with rapid change – Baku shows off a futuristic skyline, while the countryside surprises with mountain villages and fire temples. The 'Land of Fire' is welcoming, much of it is still largely undiscovered by tourists, and a reliable mobile connection is a huge help on the road.

Mobile internet in Azerbaijan
In Baku and the larger cities, mobile coverage is very good: 4G/LTE is standard, and 5G is being rolled out increasingly in the capital. Providers Bakcell and Nar Mobile run reliable networks; in remote mountain regions and rural areas, coverage can be patchy.
With an eSIM you're online as soon as you arrive and can navigate the country without having to buy a local SIM card. Map apps are handy for trips outside the city, as are translation apps for Azerbaijani or Russian, and taxi apps like Bolt or Uber, which work reliably in Baku.
Highlights in Azerbaijan
Baku's Old City, Icheri Sheher
The UNESCO-protected Old City is a maze of alleys, mosques and caravanserais. The Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs are the highlights – in between, tea houses and souvenir shops invite you to stroll.
Gobustan National Park
Thousands of rock carvings tell of the Stone Age, and the bubbling mud volcanoes around them look like something from another planet. The park is just an hour's drive from Baku and makes a good half-day trip.
Ateshgah Fire Temple and Yanar Dag
An eternal flame once burned in the temple of the fire worshippers, and at Yanar Dag natural gas has been flickering out of the ground for centuries. Both places recall the Zoroastrian past and the nickname 'Land of Fire'.
Şəki with the Khan's Palace
The town at the foot of the Greater Caucasus enchants with cobblestones, old caravanserais and the magnificent Palace of the Khans of Şəki. The colourful stained-glass windows and murals are especially worth seeing.
Practical travel tips
- For trips outside Baku, a car or driver is helpful – public connections to the mountains are often infrequent, but the landscape makes up for it.
- In Baku, the metro is the fastest way to get around; you can get a rechargeable BakiKart at the stations and it also works on buses.
- Taxi apps like Bolt or Uber are cheap and transparent in Baku – on the street, you should agree the price beforehand.
- Outside the capital, cash is often the only way to pay – withdraw enough before you head into the countryside.
Do’s
- Take off your shoes in mosques and religious sites and dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered).
- Accept invitations for tea – Azerbaijani hospitality is legendary and tea is part of it.
- Try the local cuisine: plov, dolma and saj dishes are staples, and black tea with jam goes perfectly with them.
- Ask for permission before photographing people – especially in rural areas, it's polite and builds trust.
Don’ts
- Avoid loud or pushy discussions about politics, especially the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh – the topic is sensitive and can become uncomfortable.
- Don't photograph military installations or government buildings – it can lead to problems.
- Don't point the soles of your shoes at others or put your feet on tables or seats – it's considered disrespectful.
- Only drink alcohol in restaurants and bars, not on the street – it's considered impolite.

Azerbaijan eSIM – frequently asked questions
Which Azerbaijan eSIM plan do I need?
That depends on how much data you use: for navigation, messaging and occasional browsing 1–3 GB per week is usually enough; for social media, video calls or hotspot rather 5 GB or more. The plans cost between €3.99 and €80.99.
When does the validity of my eSIM start?
Validity only starts when the eSIM connects to a network at your destination for the first time. So you can safely install it before your trip.
Will my normal phone number stay reachable?
Yes. This is a data-only eSIM installed in addition to your SIM card. Calls and SMS still use your normal number – mind your provider’s roaming prices.
Does the eSIM work with my phone?
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. This includes all iPhones from XS/XR, Samsung Galaxy from S20 and Google Pixel from 3. See “Compatible devices” for the full list.
How do I set up the eSIM?
After purchase you receive a QR code by email. Scan it in your phone’s mobile network settings, select the eSIM for mobile data and switch on data roaming for the eSIM at your destination.
Do I need to set an APN?
No. The access point (APN) is set automatically for all Azerbaijan eSIM plans.
