Tovuz runs on brandy and football. The local cognac factory anchors the economy alongside small-scale agriculture and seasonal tourism. Winters hit harder here than in Baku—expect dry Arctic winds cutting through the valleys from December to March.

The State Museum is the only notable cultural institution. Daily life revolves around the market square and football matches. Infrastructure is basic: no international schools, one hospital, and patchy hot water in Soviet-era apartments. This is a place for FIRE types who want total immersion in rural Azerbaijan with zero expat bubble.
