Azerbaijan Holidays

Tucked away on the western shores of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is a holiday destination that remains off the beaten path for most travellers.

Most trips start in Baku, Azerbaijan's fascinating capital city. A curious mix of super modern architecture funded by oil wealth and a perfectly preserved old town, this is easily the country's most cosmopolitan city with all the best hotels.

Outside of Baku, you'll find timeless rural villages, lush forested valleys, ancient rock art and active mud volcanoes. Perhaps most intriguing of all though is eternally burning Yanardagh fire mountain, caused by escaping natural gas.
