Tourist Attractions in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is a bright colourful country where European and Asian cultures are closely intertwined. It is a modern, prosperous state that carefully preserves its values and history. There are hundreds of historical sights all over the country: fortresses and palaces, ancient cities and mosques, preserved since the times of the mighty Persia. Azerbaijani resorts on the Caspian Sea coast are wonderful health resorts where you can improve your health, have a good rest and sunbathe on the well-maintained beaches.

Fans of picturesque landscapes are attracted to the country by the natural beauty of Azerbaijan. Here the peaks of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Ranges pierce the sky, mud volcanoes gush out of the ground in the Gobustan reserve, and Goygel Lake sparkles with a mirror-like surface. Azerbaijan has 9 out of 11 climatic zones of the planet – from subtropics, where banana palms grow, to high-mountain zones with sharp continental climate.

The best time to visit Azerbaijan is from April to October. In spring, nature blooms with bright colours, from May the water in the Caspian Sea warms up to a comfortable temperature, and the beginning of autumn is the best time for excursions and hikes. In the country tourists find themselves in a real fruit paradise. Here you can eat enough delicious pomegranates, apricots, sweet grapes and watermelons.
