Azerbaijan for Tourism! Why visit Azerbaijan?
Azerbaijan, the land of fire, is known for its stunning Caspian shoreline, modern and traditional architecture, rich history, epic mountain ranges, welcoming people, and cultural traditions. It is flanked by the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea. This article explains why you should visit Azerbaijan.
- Known for being less expensive
Azerbaijan is the ideal backpacking destination since it is less expensive than many European nations because Azerbaijan is wealthy in oil; therefore, transportation is quite inexpensive. Food is relatively inexpensive in Azerbaijan at local restaurants and staying in hotels other than expensive ones in Baku is also very cheap.
- The Caspian Sea
Azerbaijan is home to the Caspian Sea, the world’s largest saltwater lake. The water of the Caspian Sea is less salty than in other seas, making it more appropriate for swimming. There are several beautiful beaches along the Caspian Sea’s coast to explore, including Bilgah Beach Hotel, Amburan Beach Club, Mambo Beach Club, and Sea Breeze Resort to beat the summer heat.
- The extremely friendly locals
Azerbaijan’s culture encourages individuals to be open and welcoming. They are very hospitable and are always delighted to see visitors. Although communication is tricky, the residents here will invite you to their homes, take you out to lunch, and attempt to assist you in any way they can.
- Baku
Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan. It serves as the country’s cultural, scientific, and industrial hub. Baku, with its contemporary Flame Towers and sumptuous House of Government, as well as old castles and temples, is the ultimate blend of history and modernity. Fountains Square in Baku’s centre, One and a Thousand Nights Beach, Shikhov Beach, Maiden Tower, and Oil Rocks are all popular tourist and entertainment sites. You can also visit bars and great restaurants and find luxury cars on Baku’s excellent motorways.
- The great Caucasus
The Caucasus divides Eastern Europe and Western Asia, passing through a few countries. This area is made up of both mountains and plains covered by forests. Its beautiful landscape and isolated mountain communities make it the ideal location for outdoor adventures. It has a very diverse culture and landscape, making each trek unique, and it is the perfect way to explore Azerbaijan’s scenic beauty.
- Azerbaijan cuisine
Azerbaijan has a lot to offer in terms of food since Azerbaijani cuisine was inspired by culinary traditions from many various nations, including Turkish, Iranian, and Eastern Europe. Plov, a rice-based pilaf seasoned with broth, is Azerbaijan’s national cuisine, and additional meals to try are Pita, Kebab, Dolma, Saj Ichi, Lavangi, Baklava, and Buglama.
- Naftalan oil resort
Due to the unique therapeutic properties of human organisms, such as anti-inflammatory, pain alleviating, vasodilating, and energising effects, Naftalan resorts have become an essential part of Azerbaijan’s cultural legacy. The therapeutic benefits and potency of naftalan for 70 different ailments have been demonstrated by the findings of hundreds of scientific works and monographs. An estimated 15,000 individuals visit this location each year to soak in warm oil baths to treat various skin conditions.
All these factors make Azerbaijan a very popular and desired destination for tourists, and it is an ideal place to spend some “alone” time.
