Warning
In recent years, Azerbaijan has been the site of several unexplained acts of terrorism, notably in the form of bombings. It's best to steer clear of the western region of Nagorno-Karabakh and the Azerbaijan-Armenia border region.

The bombings have tended to target government buildings, hotels, tourist sites, residential complexes, crowded public gathering places and public transport.

In Baku, walking alone and using public transport and the Metro at night is best avoided. In the western region, the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh is unresolved. Although hostilities ceased in 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia have yet to settle their differences regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which in the meantime operates as a self-proclaimed, unrecognised republic with close but unofficial ties to Armenia.

Armed clashes continue sporadically along the ceasefire line and the border with Armenia, and anti-personnel landmines are dotted throughout the areas close to the front lines.
