The region is not a major tourist destination. The Tourist information Centre, in the brown domed building (historically a madrasa) opposite the Tabriz Hotel, can offer advice on what to see and gives free guides and maps. The helpful staff can speak Azeri, Russian, and English. ## Talk The national language is ; and are also widely understood. ## Get in By plane The best way to get to Nakhchivan is to fly to Nakhchivan International Airport NAJ. Azal operates a shuttle service, heavily subsidized by the Azeri government. Airfare prices are different for foreigners than for Azeris. You can book a flight on the AZAL (Azerbaijan Airlines) website in English, azal.az, by using your credit card. Flights are sold online until 48 hours prior to departure. After that you have to buy at the airport, if seats are available, so it is worth planning ahead. Foreign rates: Nakchivan/Baku and vice versa = 114 manat (2025) Nakchivan/ and vice versa = 104 manat (2025) There are buses and taxis to the city, which is 3 km away. Minibuses depart from the tiny bus station in front of the airport, just across the parking lot. City buses do have numbers written on them and stop relatively frequent. Fare is 0.30 manat for travel in town, almost all of them will stop at the long distance bus terminal (Avtovagzal) in the north of town, where one can catch also minibuses to other parts of the enclave. Check the signs in the windshield which show the major stops of the bus. Alternative airport with connections to Ankara is at Erzurum (ERZ), 250 km west of Nakhchivan. By train There is twice-weekly train service between Nakhchivan and the Iranian cities of and . It's also possible to travel to the border crossing at Jolfa, which sees daily trains from Tabriz, and cross the border independently. By car Local cabs can be hired on arrival but will likely inflate prices. If you are headed to Nakchivan, having a local receive you will smooth over any unplanned border hassles. Taxi rates are linked to fuel costs. In Nakchivan it's about US$0.75/L. By bus The exclave has a short border with Turkey in Sədərək which allows an easy link to the city of Iğdır. There are several buses per day starting from or passing through Iğdır bus station (150 min driving time). The border is open 10 hours a day and that border guards are very corrupt – and even corruption aside, the extensive security, customs and immigration checks on both sides are likely to last two hours or more. Buses ply the Baku — Nakhchivan route: 30 manat, 8 hr, 3 times a day (2021). On foot You can enter Nakhchivan on foot from the Iranian town of Jolfa, crossing the bridge across the Aras River. The border crossing is on the northern side of Ashura Square in the Iranian border town of Jolfa. Walk right to the end of the pedestrian street into the Iranian immigration building and present your passport. Following a baggage and passport check, cross the bridge on foot (around 3 minutes' walk) to the Azerbaijani side. Here you should present your passport and a print out of your eVisa to the officer in the small booth. He/she will direct you to the immigration building where you will have your visa and bags checked (make sure to have a prescription for medicines) and photo taken. The immigration officials on both sides are very friendly and helpful with some speaking English. The crossing should take around 45 minutes if there are no problems. Taxi to Nakhchivan City outside the immigration building: Private taxi: 15 manat (2017) Shared taxi: 3 manat per person (2017) Minibus to Nakhchivan City: 1 manat from the bus terminal in the center of town (2019) 10 minutes walk from the immigration building. ## Get around The best way to get around is by cab. There is a fixed price system when you travel within the city. It costs 3 manat to travel between any two points within the city. If you want to travel outside of the city, you have to bargain with the cab drivers. A half day taxi outside the city with multiple sights should cost around 60-70 manat. The highest price you will be charged (traveling from Sederek to Ordubad) is no more than US$50. Bolt also operates in Nakhchivan, with convenient hailing by app. It is easy to catch minibuses to every village in Nakhchivan from the main bus station (Avtovagzal) in Nakhchican City. The fare is always 1 manat, no matter where you go. If you don't find the bus with your destination, you can ask around . Drivers as well as other passengers are extremely helpful and will go out of their way to help you find the right minibus for you, sometimes by calling an English speaking friend who will translate for you. For example if you want to visit Alinca Qalasi, it is best to take the bus to Qazanci, which will pass by the entrance to the castle and the tiny museum (both free). You can tell the driver where you are going so he knows where to stop. There are hourly minibuses from Nakhchivan to Culfa which will also drop you near the border control post near the Iranian border. The Bus driver will ask the passengers when he drives into Culfa, where they want to be dropped off. The actual bus terminal is about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the immigration building. You can also rent a car. Two companies operate in Nakhchivan: Geres Rent a Car +994609777777 and Smart Rent a Car +994602125252. Both provide delivery and return service to airport and local hotels. Prices from about 65 AZN per day (2025). Cash only. ## See South of Nakhchivan City AlinjagalaThe number one highlight of Nakhchivan. An ancient citadel in the mountains with impressive views, and a simple museum at the foot of the mountain To access the citadel you need to climb the stairs up from the road which takes around 30-45 minutes, but it is all worth it once you get to the top. At the top there is complete silence and most of the time you will have the place all to yourself. Access to citadel may be closed in winter, but museum should always be open.
