Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site near Qobustan, Azerbaijan, is best explored via a guided tour to fully appreciate its ancient petroglyphs and historical significance, though solo visits are feasible with private transportation from Baku. The site is generally accessible with an interactive museum, but involves walking on uneven terrain among the rocks, so comfortable shoes are essential. Open year-round, but spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant weather, avoiding the intense summer heat or winter chill. Expect an approximate entrance fee of 10-15 AZN, with additional costs for transportation (e.g., 50-80 AZN for a round-trip taxi from Baku or 50-100+ AZN per person for a guided tour, often including nearby mud volcanoes). A typical visit duration for the museum and rock art area is 2-4 hours, extendable to a half-day trip if combining with the mud volcanoes; visitors should bring water and sun protection, especially during warmer months.
