Tourist info

[EuroLove]

Baku is not so touristic city. Through, I have checked that only luxury tourism has developed there. Most of us is not oil magnates, so please give us glue, where to stay, where to go, where to eat, what to see, what to do and so on. Please put some pictures of Baku with small introduction. Thanks!

P.S How to get tickets for Finnish fans?

Wikitravel is extremely helpful as the articles are always written by people who have actually been to these places! It'll tell you everything you need to know, from how to obtain a visa, to what sights to see and where to eat/sleep at a low cost!

Reading that wikitravel article has made me think that Azeris are the complete opposites of Irish people

Also EU-Countries need a Visa.

Will they be waiving the visa requirement for the contest in the same way that waived the visa for people going to the Champions League Final in 2008? (The match ticket counted as the visa)

The government should do something about the visa, it would be much easier for everyone to just buy the tickets.

Sabina, in any country all delegants must get visa to be in. And sometimes it really take much time. So Azerbaijan is not exception unfortunally

 

[PashonFrut]

Narmina, Baku will be receiving lots of tourists it will be for the best if they take out the visa requirements just for this occasion. Russia has done a similar thing I think during the Eurovision if I'm not wrong?

 

[Narmina]

But why didn't Germany make this for ESC period? or Norway?

Most countries in Eurovision are part of E.U, the countries don't need any visa to cross the borders. You can't just take Germany and Norway as an example.

 

[Narmina]

^ of course, but they could do it for ex-SSSR countries...anyway, we'll see the desicion of our goverment
