Reasons to Visit Year-Round
From skiing in the winter to festivals in the fall, to
Nowruz in the spring, and feeling the Caspian vibe in the summer, there are
good reasons to visit Azerbaijan all
year round. Here's a quick guide to what to expect in each season.
Winter
Holiday trips or New Year's celebrations are perfect during
these winter months. From the beginning
of December, festive joy invades the Fountains Square of Baku. Although snow is rare in Baku,
the tall Christmas trees and markets help put everyone in the Christmas mood.
For those who love cold peaks, we cannot recommend Shahdag and Tufandag ski resorts highly enough. Snowsports enthusiasts are welcome from December to the
end of March, and you can choose from the variety of hotels at each resort
depending on how you want to kick off the holiday season: snuggled up with your
family or in lover adventure with your loved one.
Spring
Spring in Azerbaijan
is a special time as it is the time when nature wakes up from its winter
hibernation. Moreover, this is when we celebrate our favorite Azerbaijani holiday - Novruz - a
celebration of spring and the arrival of the New Year. All Azerbaijanis participate in this traditional holiday with their
customs and rituals which provide the perfect opportunity to experience Azerbaijani culture and traditions at
their best. You will be welcome not only to watch but also to join in the
celebrations! Occupying the small space between spring and summer, May is the
perfect time to get out and explore the many historical monuments and natural beauties of Azerbaijan. Visit
places like Goygol and Maralgol lakes near Ganja and the
ancient cities of Sheki and Gabala which will all delight you with
their beauty. For those of you interested in ecotourism, the Hirkan National Park is an excellent
choice, especially this time of year.
Summer
The period between the beginning of June and the end of
August is the hottest and sunniest period in Azerbaijan. Summer in Baku
is the perfect remedy for those who crave respite from a long cold winter,
especially if you paint your trip with the exciting colors of sunsets over the
Absheron. The Baku Peninsula is
lined with long beaches with everything you need for a great summer vacation.
The resorts have been built with excellent leisure facilities exclusively for
your comfort. Moreover, this is the perfect time to sample Azerbaijani food and wine and hunt for cultural and natural
treasures in the countryside. Summer is also the time for events and festivals.
Experience big events like the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the Zhara
International Music Festival or check out smaller folk festivals like the
Festival of Nomadic Culture in Gadabay
- a great place to sample traditional cuisine and chat with locals!
Autumn
With cooler temperatures but still plenty of sunshine, it's
a great season for long mountain walks, visiting national parks, and enjoying exclusive spa breaks. Autumn in Baku is perfect for walking around the
city, but you can always venture far into the Caucasus Mountains. It is also the period of the annual harvest, so
why not take a trip to the vineyards of Gabala,
Ismayilli, Shamakhi, or Goygol?
Along with trying all the delicious local wines, you might also be invited to
participate in grape picking. November is an excellent month to slowly admire
the beautiful colors of the Caucasus. Dress warmly and venture into scenic
forests and lakes.
