Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan, situated near Georgia, is emerging as a significant destination with the introduction of a new three-day visa service. Known as the South Caucasian country to keep an eye on, Azerbaijan boasts a diverse range of landscapes, from the fiery Yanar Dag mountain to the unique mud volcanoes and ancient petroglyphs of Gobustan, as well as the picturesque beaches of the Absheron Peninsula. Positioned at the intersection of Europe and Asia, Azerbaijan offers a captivating fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, reflected in its people, traditions, and cuisine. In the capital city of Baku, visitors can explore the historic Old City with its cobbled streets and ancient fortresses, juxtaposed with the modern architecture of the iconic Flame Towers and the innovative Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid. This juxtaposition symbolizes the city’s rapid development since the advent of oil-drilling in the 19th century.
