The summer seasons of Azerbaijan can get pretty warm and humid going up to 30°C and making it pretty hard for tourists to get around. So we recommend the months of April to June where the temperatures range between 15°C to 25°C and it is perfect and comfortable enough to explore all of Azerbaijan.
The public transportation system in Azerbaijan is extremely reliable and even hitchhiking is safe. However, we recommend that you pick its buses, minibusses, taxis or rent cars for intercity travel. When you are exploring the cities of Azerbaijan, we suggest that you walk as much as possible since almost all the landmark sides and locations are situated at walkable distances from each other.
