Azerbaijan

Where East meets West in a vibrant blend of modern life and ancient wonders.

Plan your Azerbaijan trip

The most under-rated country in the region. That’s exactly why we love it.

Azerbaijan is where the Silk Road meets the 21st century. Baku’s flame-shaped skyscrapers rise straight out of a UNESCO-listed walled city, while two hours into the countryside you’ll find mud volcanoes, fire temples, and Caucasus villages that haven’t changed in a few hundred years.

We split most Azerbaijan trips between modern Baku — sleek hotels, the Heydar Aliyev Center, contemporary art galleries — and the wilder corners further out: the silk-weavers of Sheki, the petroglyphs at Gobustan, the jeweled lake of Goygol. The food alone is worth the trip; the people make it unforgettable.

Baku & the Old City

Flame Towers above caravan-era walls, the Maiden Tower, the Heydar Aliyev Center’s curves, and a Caspian seafront promenade made for sunset walks.

Sheki

A 1,000-year-old Silk Road town in the Caucasus foothills, famous for stained-glass shebeke craftsmanship and a piti stew worth flying for.

Gobustan & Mud Volcanoes

40,000-year-old petroglyphs on the Caspian shore, plus a forest of bubbling mud volcanoes 30 minutes away. Otherworldly.

Goygol National Park

A glacial lake mirroring forested mountains, an hour’s drive from Ganja. The kind of stillness you only realise you needed afterwards.
