Many tourists visiting AZERBAIJAN, especially those who enjoy nature and mountainous travel, make the SAME MISTAKE when planning their trip.
Car rentals in Baku are usually for only 2-3 days, and during this short time, tourists try to visit SEVERAL MOUNTAIN REGIONS OF AZERBAIJAN, which appear close on the map, but are, in practice, located far apart.
Why are distances “on the map” deceiving?
Tourists often plan their route between Shahdag and Gabala.
At first glance, these destinations appear to be located nearby. But in reality:
- The regions are separated by mountains
- There are no direct roads between them
- The journey takes many hours
As a result:
- Almost one entire day is spent on the road
- Tourists get tired
- Vacation becomes a constant road trip
A real-life example from BAKU CARS RENT CENTER. We recently encountered a situation where a tourist stayed in Shahdag and planned to go to Gabala for just one day and then return. This is a very bad decision.
Even under favorable circumstances:
- The journey takes too much time
- Most of the day is spent driving
- There is almost no time left for rest and exploring.
As a result, the tourist wastes an entire vacation day, instead of enjoying nature and relaxation. When advice is already too late…
At BAKU CARS RENT CENTER, we often encounter situations where:
- hotels are already booked and paid for
- the itinerary is planned in advance
- and only later do we realize the plan was unsuccessful
We always try to warn clients in advance, but sometimes it’s too late to change the itinerary.
How to properly plan a trip around the regions of Azerbaijan?
If you choose Gabala, plan at least 3 days in one region. This is the most logical and comfortable option.
During this time, you can visit:
- Gabala
- Oguz
- Sheki
- Balaken
Why this is convenient:
- the destinations are relatively close
- you can peacefully enjoy nature
- no long and tiring travel required
If you choose Shahdag, stay in that direction. We recommend at least 3 days for a trip to Shahdag.
During this time, you’ll easily see:
- Shahdag
- Khizi
- Guba
- Khinaliq
Advantages of this route:
- Less travel time
- More time to relax
- Beautiful landscapes without rushing
Why is rent a car in Baku the best option for regional travel?
Traveling through the regions of Azerbaijan requires:
- Freedom of movement
- Flexible schedule
- Opportunity to stop for photos and rest
Renting a car in Baku with BAKU CARS RENT CENTER allows you to:
- Plan your route wisely
- Save time
- Travel comfortably and stress-free
The main advice for tourists: IT’S BETTER TO SEE ONE REGION – BUT GOOD QUALITY – THAN SEVERAL REGIONS – AND HALF YOUR VACATION ON THE ROAD.
