Festivales y Eventos

The capital is a destination in itself. Exploration should include both the medieval walled city of Icherisheher (UNESCO Heritage Site) and the futuristic architecture that redefines its skyline, including the Flame Towers and the Heydar Aliyev Center. The boulevard along the Caspian is perfect for walking.

Follow in the footsteps of ancient fire worshipers by visiting the Ateshgah temple and the burning mountain of Yanar Dag. The journey is completed in Gobustan, where prehistoric petroglyphs and bubbling mud volcanoes connect with the earth's primal power.

Sheki is the essential stop on this route, a city that was an important center of silk production. Its palace and restored caravanserais evoke that golden age. The town of Lahij, with its cobbled streets and tinker's workshops, offers another window into that artisanal past.

Explore the two faces of Baku

Walking through Icherisheher, the old walled city, is to immerse yourself in history, discovering caravanserais, mosques, the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the enigmatic Maiden's Tower. A few steps away, the city is transformed with stately avenues and ultra-modern architecture, whose greatest exponent are the Flame Towers and the fluid lines of the Heydar Aliyev Center, designed by Zaha Hadid.

Feel the heat of Tierra del Fuego

Visit the Ateshgah of Surakhani, a restored pentagonal temple that was a pilgrimage site for Zoroastrians and Hindus. At night, the experience is completed at Yanar Dag, a hillside from which natural gas emanates and has been burning continuously for decades, creating a hypnotic spectacle.

Bathing in a mud volcano

Azerbaijan is home to almost half of the world's mud volcanoes. In the Gobustan National Park, in addition to admiring the ancient petroglyphs, you can live the peculiar experience of bathing in the gray, bubbling mud of these small volcanoes, known for their therapeutic properties. A fun and unique experience.

Live an authentic tea ceremony

Tea ('chay') is the lynchpin of Azerbaijani social life. Served in pear-shaped glasses called 'armudu', it is very strong and black, and is never drunk without something sweet, such as jams or 'pakhlava'. Being invited to a 'chaykhana' (tea house) is a sign of hospitality that cannot be refused.

Discover the crafts of the Silk Road

Traveling to Sheki, in the foothills of the Caucasus, is to follow in the footsteps of ancient merchants. Its main jewel is the Palace of the Khans of Sheki, famous for its dazzling 'shebeke' stained glass windows, made without a single nail or glue. In the nearby village of Lahij, you can see artisans working copper as they have done for centuries.

Celebrate the arrival of spring on Nowruz

Nowruz, celebrated on the spring equinox, is the most important holiday in the country. For weeks, families prepare by cleaning their houses, cooking special sweets like 'shekerbura' and 'pakhlava', and setting off bonfires to purify themselves. It is an explosion of color, tradition and community joy.

Visa and Registration

Most nationalities can obtain an electronic visa (ASAN Visa) quickly and easily through the official government portal. It is very important to register with the State Migration Service if the stay in the country exceeds 15 days. Hotels usually take care of this procedure.

Internal Transportation

In Baku, the metro is efficient and very economical. Transportation apps like Bolt are very popular and affordable. To travel between cities, the train and bus network is a good option, although renting a car with a driver can be a comfortable alternative to explore rural areas.

Language

The official language is Azerbaijani (or Azerbaijani), a Turkic language. Russian is widely spoken and understood, especially by older generations. English is gaining popularity in Baku among young people and in the tourism sector, but is rare outside the capital.
