Azerbaijan is an Asian country in the Middle East. It has borders with Russia, Armenia, Iran and via the enclave Nakhchivan to Turkey.

Hitchhiking

It is possible that you have to pay for the lift, but hitchhiking is cheaper than bus or even taxi. Hitchhiking in Azerbaijan is not more or less dangerous than elsewhere on the world. But be aware of regions in the southwest, the border to Armenia and the region Nagorno-Karabakh where sometimes local conflics escalates. In the border region to Armenia is the additional danger of landmines.
