Want to visit Azerbaijan? You can be sure: as a tourist you have made the right choice.
The fact is that Azerbaijanis are distinguished by their hospitality.
In addition, the Transcaucasian country is famous for its numerous attractions: there are architectural monuments and beautiful natural objects.
You will definitely have something to look at!
But before visiting the “land of fire,” learn about some of the peculiarities of the mentality of the locals.
Respect the traditions and laws of Azerbaijanis!
The Zen channel “Travel Blog” told about the cultural and legal features of Azerbaijan.
Refusing an invitation to visit
An Azerbaijani has invited you to visit? Don't refuse unless you want to offend this person!
Refusing an invitation could be perceived as a serious insult in the Transcaucasian country.
So, take the time to visit. And be sure to bring some souvenirs.
If you still can’t accept the invitation, refuse the local resident as politely as possible, explaining the reason.
Dress provocatively
Vulgar clothing is a bad choice for walking the streets of Azerbaijan.
Advice for girls: be modest, try to wear closed wardrobe items, avoid bright makeup.
Kissing on the street
Are you visiting Azerbaijan with your significant other? Don't kiss in front of everyone!
Such an act could be perceived in the country as too daring.
Bargain in certain stores
Azerbaijan is a country that takes attempts to bargain calmly.
Moreover, such behavior is traditional here.
But keep it in moderation! And only bargain at markets and in private shops. Don't try to get a price reduction in a chain store or in a catering establishment.
Take pictures of specific objects
A person who has arrived in Azerbaijan should not record people or metro stations on camera.
Taking photographs of certain shopping centres may also be prohibited.
