Azerbaijan is open to leisure tourism and Baku is generally usable for visitors, with active travel demand still visible in 2025-2026. The main cautions are serious regional security risks near the Armenia border, former conflict zones, and some disruption tied to the Iran situation; ordinary city travel is far less affected than border-area travel.
