Travelling with kids in Azerbaijan
Family life is central in Azerbaijan and children are welcome everywhere. Baku is flat, walkable and full of parks and promenades; beyond it the mountain resorts are built for families. Here is how we set up cots, beds, car seats, entertainment and safe days out.
Cots, extra beds, car seats, best days out and the family-friendly parks — the whole thing, arranged and confirmed in writing before you pay.

Everything below is arranged for you and confirmed in writing before you pay — child seats fitted to any vehicle on request.
Free cots in international and boutique hotels across Baku; regional properties provide them on request with notice. We confirm each in writing before you pay.
Rollaway and sofa beds in family rooms and suites, often free for young children. Interconnecting rooms are common in the larger Baku and Shahdag hotels.
Infant to booster seats fitted to any transfer or tour car — send us ages and weights. Seats are legally required for young children.
Standard in Baku restaurants and hotels; regional teahouses and family restaurants are happy to help.
Keeping them entertained
The seaside Boulevard with its Ferris wheel and mini-park, Baku Zoo, the Funicular to Highland Park, and the interactive science and cultural centres. Endless flat promenade for buggies.
Caspian beach resorts north of the city, waterparks at the beach clubs, and the mud volcanoes and Gobustan petroglyphs as an easy half-day adventure.
Shahdag and Qabala resorts run cable cars, tobogganing and a large adventure park (Qabaland) — a cool-air escape from summer heat.
Family-friendly parks & days out
Kilometres of flat, shaded promenade with playgrounds, fountains and rides — the easiest family day in the country.
Cable-car rides to alpine meadows and a family adventure park; gentle and scenic, no hiking required.
Open-air rock-art reserve with a modern museum — short, flat and genuinely interesting for school-age kids.
