About
Discover Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is a crossroads of civilizations between Europe and Asia, Islam and Christianity, nomadism and modernity. Baku, its capital, offers a striking contrast: the medieval old city (Icheri Sheher, UNESCO) sits next to the Flame Towers, glass skyscrapers that ignite every night.
The eternal flames of Yanar Dag have burned for millennia without a visible fuel source — legacy of Zoroastrian Azerbaijan, the "land of fire."
The countryside hides cave villages, ancestral vineyards, and the Caspian Sea.
