From the buzzing capital of Baku with its futuristic skyline, to its tranquil natural landscapes, Azerbaijan is a fascinating country which sits at the crossroad of Europe and Asia. Azerbaijan's rich cultural heritage is evident through its UNESCO World Heritage site—the ancient petroglyphs of Gobustan and the beautifully preserved architecture of the Silk Road city of Sheki—to name a couple.
The heart of Azerbaijan, however, lies in its warm and hospitable people. The cuisine reflects this culture—delicious kebabs, fluffy plov (rice pilaf), and fresh herbs, all complemented by sweet pastries and the famed Azerbaijani tea—shirin chay or sweet tea—which is served year-round; hot in winter and iced in summer.
Whether you’re exploring the capital's lively streets, exploring the majestic Caucasus Mountains, or relaxing by the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan offers a distinctive and unforgettable experience for those seeking a destination still relatively under the radar but more than worth the visit.
