What is the best currency to take to Azerbaijan?

[Immigration Egypt]

When traveling to Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN) is the official currency, and it’s best to have it for your transactions. However, if you’re preparing for your trip, certain foreign currencies are more widely accepted for exchange. Here's a guide:

Best foreign currencies to bring

• US Dollar (USD): The most widely accepted foreign currency in Azerbaijan. Exchange rates for USD are competitive, and it is easily exchanged at banks, exchange offices, and even some hotels.
• Euro (EUR): Also commonly accepted at exchange points, making it a convenient choice for travelers from Europe.
• British Pound (GBP): While less common than USD or EUR, GBP can still be exchanged at major banks and exchange offices in Baku.

Currency exchange tips

• Use authorized banks or official currency exchange offices for the best rates and to avoid counterfeit notes.
• Airports and hotels might offer less favorable rates, so exchange only what you need for immediate expenses there.

Payment options

• Credit/Debit Cards: Widely accepted in urban areas, including restaurants, hotels, and shopping centers. Visa and MasterCard are the most common.
• Cash: Essential for rural areas, small shops, and taxis, as card payments may not be available.

Additional tips

Avoid carrying old or damaged foreign notes, as they may not be accepted for exchange.
Keep small denominations of the Azerbaijani Manat for local transport and small purchases.

By bringing USD or EUR, you'll ensure smooth exchanges and a hassle-free financial experience in Azerbaijan. Always check the current exchange rates before your trip to get the best value.
