About Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan sits at the meeting point of Europe and Asia, where Caspian coastal scenery, Caucasus mountain landscapes and centuries of Silk Road heritage shape a distinctive travel destination.

Baku, the capital, combines a UNESCO-listed walled Old City with contemporary architecture along the Caspian waterfront. Ganja, the country's second-largest city, and Sheki, with its historic caravanserai and Khan's Palace, add cultural depth beyond the capital.

Beyond its cities, Azerbaijan ranges from the Greater Caucasus in the north to semi-desert plains of the interior and the Caspian coast. Mud volcanoes, mountain villages and regions such as Gabala and the Guba highlands offer varied scenery.

Azerbaijan is known for its energy industry and has hosted major international events including Formula 1 in Baku. Its Caspian location and modern venues make it relevant for regional conferences, trade and tourism.

Baku's Heydar Aliyev International Airport, highways and rail links connect the capital with regional centres, while private transfers, chauffeur services and charter buses support convenient travel between airports, hotels, business districts and tourist destinations.
