History enthusiasts will find plenty to fascinate them in Azerbaijan, with ancient sites dating back thousands of years scattered across the landscape. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Gobustan National Park to see its remarkable collection of rock art, petroglyphs, and archaeological remains, or journey to the historic city of Ganja, known for its rich cultural heritage and architectural landmarks.
No visit to Azerbaijan would be complete without sampling its renowned cuisine, which reflects the country’s diverse cultural influences and culinary traditions. Indulge in aromatic pilaf, succulent kebabs, and fragrant teas at local eateries and roadside cafes, or experience the warm hospitality of an Azerbaijani home with a traditional meal prepared by welcoming hosts.
