Once home to ancient empires and now a country that is rapidly reinventing itself at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Azerbaijan is a country of curious contrasts and beguiling contradictions.

The capital, Baku, is a strange composition of 21st century architecture and a medieval fortress. The beloved Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the indisputable heart of the city. But beyond the old walls, the wide boulevards and exclusive boutiques hum with cosmopolitan allure.

Lose yourself in the ancient city of Sheki for a taste of old world Azerbaijan. Be awed by the traditional shebeke mosaic of the palace of the Sheki Khans or explore bath houses, silk factories and shops in the historic centre.

Head away from the cities completely and you will be gifted with extraordinary landscapes. Lose yourself in the emerald tangles of Zaqatala, learn about the Caucasian Albanians in Kish, or spend the night in a rustic homestay in the mountain village of Khinalug.

Azerbaijan is also famous for its healing Naftalan oil. The famous Naftalan Resort is located 50 km outside of Ganja and offers treatments for over 70 diseases.

Although crime levels are generally low in Azerbaijan, you should still maintain vigilance and use common sense throughout your trip. If you are staying in the country for more than 10 days, you will need to register with the State Migration Service. Travel insurance to cover theft and medical expenses is recommended.

Nagorno-Karabakh is a conflict region and should be avoided. Avoid carrying large sums of cash and valuables and wandering around alone at night, as street crime does happen. Situations involving beautiful women who ask you to buy them drinks and then leave you to face a gang of thugs is a common scam. Taxi drivers are also known to cheat tourists out of money; only make use of licensed taxis and agree on a fare beforehand. You should familiarise yourself with the local laws and customs before arriving in Azerbaijan.

Although the risk of malaria is low in Azerbaijan, precautions should still be taken to avoid mosquito bites. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from an infected area. Immunisation against hepatitis A & B and rabies is recommended. Routine vaccinations include MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella and polio.
