7 Reasons to Visit Azerbaijan
Sea and mountains, ancient towns and skyscrapers, plov and hospitality. Seven reasons to make Azerbaijan your next trip.
Azerbaijan is a small country where Europe meets Asia, with an amazing amount packed in. Here are seven reasons to plan a trip.
1. Baku's contrasts
UNESCO-listed medieval Icherisheher is minutes from the Flame Towers and the Heydar Aliyev Center. In a day you can walk from the 12th century to the 21st.
2. Nature for every taste
The Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus, the Gobustan semi-desert and Lankaran's subtropics. By some counts the country has nine of the world's eleven climate zones.
3. Ancient history
The Gobustan rock carvings, the Ateshgah fire temple, the Palace of the Shaki Khans and Albanian churches — history here spans millennia.
4. Land of Fire
The burning hillside of Yanardag and mud volcanoes are natural wonders you rarely see elsewhere.
5. Food
Plov, dolma, qutab, kebabs, pakhlava and tea in armudu glasses. See what to eat in Baku.
6. Hospitality
Guests are honoured here. People will feed you, ask about your country and always offer tea.
7. Easy entry
Citizens of many countries just need an ASAN e-visa issued online in a few days, and some nationalities need no visa at all. Check current rules before you travel.
