Weather

Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from January's cool stretch to July's warmth, with rain a little heavier around November and lighter around July — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In May, expect highs around 23°C with rain on roughly 3 days of the month.

Things to Do

Baku's old city and futuristic skyline pair with the Caucasus foothills further inland.

Local Cuisine

Try plov (saffron rice) and dolma, central to Azerbaijani cuisine.
