The local currency is the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN). While major credit cards are accepted in many places, it’s useful to carry some cash, especially for smaller shops and taxis. Currency exchange services are available at the airport, but you might find better rates in the city.

Visa and Mastercard are commonly accepted in Baku. Please note that American Express and Diners Club Cards may not be widely accepted.

Heydar Aliyev International Airport is well connected to the city center. Options include taxis, airport shuttles, and ride-sharing apps. Agree on a taxi fare before departing or use an official taxi service to avoid overcharging.

While taxis are readily available across Baku, ride-sharing services such as Bolt offer a convenient and often more economical alternative. Uber is not operational in Baku. For traditional taxis, it’s advisable to agree on a fare in advance to avoid misunderstandings.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in Azerbaijan. Here are some general guidelines:

• Restaurants: It’s customary to leave a tip of around 10% of the bill if service charge is not included. For excellent service, you might consider tipping a bit more.
• Taxis: Rounding up the fare or tipping 5-10% is appreciated, but not expected. Many locals simply round up to the nearest convenient amount.
• Hotels: For bellboys or housekeeping, 1-2 AZN (Azerbaijani Manat) per bag or per day of service is a kind gesture.
• Spas and Salons: A tip of 10% is standard for good service.

It’s always best to use your discretion based on the service quality. Tipping in cash is preferred, as it directly benefits the service provider.

Azerbaijan uses plug types C and F. Type C is the standard “Euro” plug with two round pins, and Type F is similar but with two earth clips attached. The standard voltage in Azerbaijan is 220 V.
