Once home to ancient empires and now a country that is rapidly reinventing itself at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Azerbaijan is a country of curious contrasts and beguiling contradictions.
The capital, Baku, is a strange composition of 21st century architecture and a medieval fortress. The beloved Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the indisputable heart of the city. But beyond the old walls, the wide boulevards and exclusive boutiques hum with cosmopolitan allure.
Lose yourself in the ancient city of Sheki for a taste of old world Azerbaijan. Be awed by the traditional shebeke mosaic of the palace of the Sheki Khans or explore bath houses, silk factories and shops in the historic centre.
Head away from the cities completely and you will be gifted with extraordinary landscapes. Lose yourself in the emerald tangles of Zaqatala, learn about the Caucasian Albanians in Kish, or spend the night in a rustic homestay in the mountain village of Khinalug.
Azerbaijan is also famous for its healing Naftalan oil. The famous Naftalan Resort is located 50 km outside of Ganja and offers treatments for over 70 diseases.
