Don't let the visa myths stop you and consider visiting Azerbaijan too! It's so worth it, for many reasons: people, landscape, architecture, food!I bet you'd enjoy it too!

How Safe is Baku for Tourists? Thanks to income from oil and gas, Baku is a modern capital city with decent public transport and is generally safe. There are some risks of petty theft in crowds or bars, and tourists can be a target of drink spiking and other scams (see above) in Western-style bars and nightclubs.
Crime levels in Baku are generally low, but muggings do occur from time to time after dark in the centre of town around the western bars and clubs and near dimly lit entrances of private apartments. Take sensible precautions: be vigilant, avoid carrying large sums of money and don't walk alone at night.
There are certainly exceptions and sights worth seeing, but Baku is the center of Azerbaijan economically, politically and culturally. Georgia vs Azerbaijan Tourist Attractions winner is… Georgia. The widespread attractions across the country make Georgia a better option for travelers.
You can get away with 3 days if you're in a rush, you would be able to visit Baku, and the Gobustan Natinal park (the UNESCO world heritage site home to the mud volcanoes).
