Azerbaijan is open to leisure tourists and Baku/mainstream routes are operating, but travel is shaped by security geography rather than general tourism disruption. The main cautions are terrorism risk, closed border areas with Armenia, and landmine/UXO hazards in some formerly contested zones. Recent official arrival data show tourism is still active but trending down year-on-year.
terrorism threat remains activeArmenia border closed; no-travel zones near border and in some southwest areasmine/UXO risk in Nagorno-Karabakh and nearby districtsno current nationwide airspace closure; card/payment issues not broadly reported
