The Eastern European country of Azerbaijan is known for a variety of landscapes and tourists are enchanted by its seaside resorts and its mountains equally. There are many places to visit in Azerbaijan, be it tiny hillside towns or the city of Ganja with mosques, churches and a house constructed from bottles. Visitors are often spoiled for choice when it comes to the Azerbaijan tourist places they can visit.
To begin, the capital city of Baku is a study in contrasts. The old and the new come together here in an exemplary manner, with the old walled city of Icheri Seher co-existing with the numerous skyscrapers that light up the sky. One of the must visit places in Azerbaijan is the Flame Towers, three towers that are built to resemble flames that are reaching out into the sky and this looks immensely glorious at night. Here are some of the definitive places to go in Azerbaijan.

Right in the centre of Baku, you will come across Icheri Seher, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with amazing medieval architecture such as the Maiden Tower from the 12th century and the Shirvanshah Palace from the 13th century.
One of the top Azerbaijan tourist places is this mud volcano which can spew mud around 1000 metres into the air. It’s surreal and fascinating to watch.
This is Azerbaijan’s Stonehenge. Right from the prehistoric cromlech, the vertical stones that have been positioned in a circle to the nearly 6000 rock drawings, this is a fascinating place to discover the evidence of life here, right from the Stone Age.
