About Azerbaijan
Baku's walled old city and Flame Towers, then the mountain air of Gabala.
Azerbaijan sits where Europe meets Asia on the Caspian Sea. Baku pairs a UNESCO-listed old town with bold modern architecture, and a few hours away lie green mountains, forests and lakes.
We arrange your hotels in Baku and the mountains, private drivers and guides, and can combine the trip with Georgia next door.
