The Borders of Azerbaijan define the land and maritime borders of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has international land borders with 5 states: the Caspian Sea to the east, Georgia and Russia to the north, Iran to the south, and Armenia to the southwest and west. A small part of Nakhchivan also borders Turkey to the northwest. The border with Armenia is closed.

The most commonly used border crossings from Georgia to Azerbaijan are the Lagodekhi-Balaken border (connecting Telavi and Zaqatala) and the Red Bridge border crossing (known in Russian as Krasniy Most, connecting Rustavi with Qazakh).
Lagodekhi-Balaken border is more frequented by tourists, and it has a scenic road all the way down to Baku. Cost for the car: $40 (for tax and insurance). There are minibuses from Telavi to Lagodekhi and a bus from Telavi to Balaken, just across the border on the Azeri side.
