Azerbaijan has lofty ambitions in terms of social life and the arts, and is also well developed economically thanks to its natural gas and underground resources. The capital of the country is Baku, and the language, Azeri, is itself very close to Turkish. The rich culture of Azerbaijan means it's an excellent destination for history lovers, while its respect for human rights makes it a safe place to visit.

5 Things to Do in Azerbaijan
- If you want to get to know Azerbaijan, the first thing you should do is discover the history of the country. In 1918 Azerbaijan became the first secular Muslim state, under the name of the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan. In 1920, it became the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan. After the break up of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan became an independent nation. Although the recorded history of the country dates back to the 6th century BC, archaeological discoveries show that organised communal life began here in 4,000 BC.
- A tour of Baku is one of the first things to do in Azerbaijan. Besides being the social, economic and commercial centre of the country, Baku is home to many historical and cultural buildings, such as the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum...
- Baku Boulevard is one of the country’s liveliest spots. It offers spectacular views of the sea and the sunset, so we highly recommend adding this to your list of things to do in Azerbaijan.
- On Absheron, a peninsula on the Caspian Sea, there is a constant fire, fuelled by natural gas seeping through the porous rocks. The Azeris know it as the Burning Mountain, and the flames here can reach as high as 3 metres. It is truly a sight to behold.
- On the shores of the Caspian Sea, you’ll find Gobustan National Park, one of the most famous natural landmarks in Azerbaijan. Here you can see traces of ancient civilizations and interesting rock formations.
