Located in the north-east of Azerbaijan, Guba is a great place to experience the Caucasus Mountains. Timeless mountain villages are populated by diverse peoples and offer great hiking and ecotourism opportunities. In the city itself you can discover some intriguing culinary secrets while in the surrounding villages local women weave some of the finest carpets in the Caucasus.

Note: The Baku-Guba- Russian Federation state border toll road was commissioned in 2023. Out of the total 150m-long highway, the 129km-long part was determined as a toll road. Access to this highway is facilitated through the use of specialized chipped cards, which can be obtained both at the entrance and exit points of the road.
