About Azerbaijan

About Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is a Eurasian country in the Caucasus region. It is bordered by the Caspian Sea, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Iran. It's exclave, Nakhchivan, also shares a border with Turkey. 

Most of the country has mild temperatures year-round, making it a great spot for travelers who don't like their vacations to be too hot or too cold. It is rare to see snow along the coast, but the mountain regions get their fair share of precipitation in the winter. The capital, Baku, is generally quite breezy, so be sure to pack a windbreaker.

The country's lush green forests, snow-capped mountains, and coastal areas give travelers the option to participate in a wide range of outdoor activities including horseback riding, hiking, climbing, and skiing.

The food in Azerbaijan is typical for the region and includes kebabs and kufta as well as many varieties of bread, a staple of the Azerbaijani diet. It is common to drink ayran (a yogurt-like drink) with your meals, or you can try some local wine or mineral water. 

International hotel chains are available in Baku, but elsewhere in the country, you'll have better luck booking local bed-and-breakfast accommodations.
