Azerbaijan:
the land of fire
A continuous blend of avant-garde and historic architecture: Baku
Charming villages on the slopes of the Caucasus
Sheki, an enchanting medieval city and a World Heritage site
The unknown country, the country of great transformations.
In few places on the planet can so many fascinating traces of such distant historical periods be found.
The Great Silk Road once passed through this land. Before and after that time, different civilisations left their mark here—a legacy we can follow and decipher through our itinerary, which explores the country’s most compelling locations.
From the rock carvings of Gobustan to the villages scattered along the slopes of the Caucasus, and on to the architectural jewels of Baku—such as the harmonious and striking Heydar Aliyev Centre by architect Zaha Hadid—our collection of unforgettable places seems endless. In this country, you travel from the medieval era to the contemporary world in just a few minutes.
Azerbaijan also bears a Soviet past that has shaped its character, just as the presence of Ottomans and Turks left a lasting imprint, enriching the gastronomy, culture and traditions of these lands.
The country has also been profoundly shaped by the power of its natural resources—cotton, natural gas and oil. For this reason, Azerbaijan is today a nation undergoing profound transformation.
