Places to Visit in Azerbaijan

Places to Visit in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is the right mix of traditions and modern life. Between Eastern Europe and Western Asia lies a whole wealth of attractions for history buffs, nature lovers, and adventure seekers.

Let’s take a tour of 10 most beautiful places to visit in Azerbaijan:

1. Baku

Baku is a sought-after place to go in Azerbaijan. Popular as an Old City or Icheri Sheher, Baku is popular for its narrow alleys, historic mosques and old caravanserais.

Here you will find the iconic Maiden Tower and the gorgeous Shirvanshah’s Palace — Both parts of the city’s timeless history. Baku also has the Flame Towers — Shining modern skyscrapers that light up the night sky.

2. Sheki

One of the popular things to do in Azerbaijan’s Sheki is exploring the cobbled streets and checking out ancient mosques. You can also tour the crowded bazaars and traditional workshops, embedded with the stories of the past.

Explore the cobbled streets and check out ancient mosques, crowded bazaars and traditional workshops, all imprinted with the stories of the past.

3. Gobustan

Gobustan is visited for its ancient rock drawings, and it is just a short drive from Baku. This place has more than 6,000 rock engravings of hunting, dancing, and daily life of people. One of the enticing Azerbaijan sightseeing places, it gives a glimpse into what life was like for humans around 40,000 years ago.

Its unique mud volcanoes give the park a special geological appeal for both history buffs and nature lovers alike.

4. Khinalug

At a high altitude in the Caucasus Mountains, Khinalug is one of the oldest inhabited villages and Azerbaijan tourist places in the world. Its remote location and elevation provide amazing views of the peaks and valleys.

The language and local traditions of Khinalug let visitors immerse in a culture that is inseparable from a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries.

5. Absheron National Park

As this national park is located on the Absheron Peninsula, it’s a paradise for wildlife and nature lovers. Spanning more than 783 hectares, it has pristine beaches on the Caspian Sea and many ecosystems.

6. Lankaran

Located on the Caspian coast, Lankaran is famous for its subtropical climate, lush landscapes, and rich past. And the city has lovely beaches, so the sun seekers often go there.

Moreover, Lankaran is known for its thermal springs which create a relaxing environment  for visitors.

7. Ganja

As the second-largest city and among the most popular places to see in Azerbaijan, Ganja combines historic sites with modern attractions. One of its most important sights is the Nizami Mausoleum, which memorializes the famous 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi.

While it’s not known for its parks, you could also go to Khan Baghi Park and you can also visit the Bottle House.

8. Nabran

Nabran, an east coast resort, is where you can find many pine woods, sandy seaside, and the Caspian Sea in the northeast. If you are looking for exciting Azerbaijan tourist attractions, this one is perfect place for families and people who want to unwind in nature. 

9. Goyazan Mountain

Adventurers should also consider visiting Goyazan Mountain, which is beautiful and great for hiking. The mountain is isolated, so it has unobstructed views of the moon, the surrounding plains and distant ranges.

The ascent to the summit is comparatively short but steep, making it a great thing to see in Azerbaijan for both novice and experienced hikers.

10. Bilgah Beach

Bilgah Beach, on the northeastern tip of the Absheron Peninsula, is among the most popular places to go in Azerbaijan. It is a famous beach outside of Baku. Bilgah Beach runs more than a kilometer long and features clean sands and clear waters.

There are a number of beach clubs and resorts in the area, so you can enjoy a comfy day at the beach.
