Top Places to Visit in Azerbaijan
1. Baku – The Capital of Contrasts
Baku is a mix of the old and the new. Walk through Icheri Sheher (Old City), a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with narrow alleys, stone walls, and medieval towers. Then step into modern Baku with its stunning Flame Towers, the Heydar Aliyev Center, and the lively Caspian Boulevard.
2. Ateshgah – The Fire Temple
Located just outside Baku, the Ateshgah Fire Temple is one of the most iconic symbols of Azerbaijan’s spiritual history. Built by Zoroastrian and Hindu traders centuries ago, it’s often called the “Temple of Eternal Flame.”
3. Gobustan National Park
A UNESCO site famous for its ancient rock carvings, mud volcanoes, and Stone Age history. It’s a great stop for those who love archaeology and natural wonders.
4. Gabala – The Mountain Escape
Gabala, surrounded by the Caucasus Mountains, is a peaceful destination known for its lakes, waterfalls, and resorts. The Nohur Lake and Tufandag Mountain Resort are must-visits for nature and adventure lovers.
5. Sheki – The Silk Road Gem
Step back in time in Sheki, one of Azerbaijan’s oldest towns. Visit the Sheki Khan’s Palace, a masterpiece of stained glass and intricate design, and enjoy the charm of its cobbled streets and old caravanserais.
Food You Must Try in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijani cuisine is rich, flavorful, and full of warmth — much like the people. Here are a few dishes you can’t miss:
- Plov (Rice Pilaf) – The national dish, cooked with saffron rice, lamb, dried fruits, and nuts.
- Dolma – Grape leaves or vegetables stuffed with minced meat, herbs, and rice.
- Kebabs – Juicy lamb or chicken skewers grilled to perfection.
- Qutab – Thin stuffed flatbread filled with meat, cheese, or greens.
- Pakhlava and Shekerbura – Traditional sweets served with Azerbaijani black tea.
Each meal is a celebration of hospitality, so don’t be surprised if locals insist you stay longer for another cup of tea!
