Some of the most prominent highlights of the Azerbaijan vacation package

Baku – The heart of every Azerbaijan Package

No Azerbaijan trip is complete without exploring Baku. The capital city offers a striking contrast between preserved medieval heritage and futuristic skyline innovation.

Icherisheher (Old City)

The UNESCO-listed Old City is a highlight of every travel itinerary & package related to Azerbaijan. Wander through cobbled alleys surrounded by ancient stone walls, discover the Maiden Tower, and explore the Palace of the Shirvanshahs.

Flame Towers

These iconic skyscrapers dominate the skyline and symbolize Azerbaijan’s historical identity as the “Land of Fire.” At night, illuminated flame displays transform the cityscape.

Caspian Sea Boulevard

The waterfront promenade offers relaxed evening walks, cafés, gardens, and panoramic views across the Caspian Sea — a favorite inclusion in Azerbaijan trip packages.

Heydar Aliyev Center

Designed by Zaha Hadid, this architectural masterpiece represents modern Azerbaijan and is included in our most premium offerings.

Gobustan & Mud Volcanoes – Natural Wonders

Nearby mud volcanoes create surreal landscapes unique to Azerbaijan. These geological formations are part of many itineraries for this country.

Yanar Dag – The Burning Mountain

Azerbaijan’s nickname, the “Land of Fire,” comes alive at Yanar Dag, where natural gas flames burn continuously from a hillside. It is one of the country’s most fascinating attractions and a popular stop for every person visiting the incredible country, Azerbaijan.

Gabala – Mountain Escape & Adventure

Gabala offers a refreshing contrast to Baku’s urban energy. Surrounded by the Caucasus Mountains, this region is perfect for nature lovers.

Tufandag Mountain Resort

Tufandag Mountain Resort is a destination for every season. Come winter, the slopes draw skiers and snowboarders looking for a crisp alpine escape. In summer, the mountains open up to hikers and nature lovers eager to explore the trails and take in the sweeping views. It's the kind of place that earns its spot on any extended itinerary — a reminder that Azerbaijan's appeal goes well beyond its cities.

Nohur Lake

Tucked away in the mountains, Nohur Lake is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks. The stillness of the water, framed by forested slopes and open sky, makes it a natural draw for photographers chasing that perfect reflection shot.
For those who prefer to be on the water rather than beside it, kayaking here is a quietly unforgettable experience. It's a spot that doesn't announce itself loudly — but once you've been, it tends to stay with you.

Sheki – Silk Road Heritage

Sheki is one of those towns that seems to exist in its own quiet rhythm, largely untouched by the pace of the modern world. Once a thriving stop along the ancient Silk Road, it carries that history in its architecture, its craft traditions, and its unhurried way of life.

Sheki Khan Palace

Known for its intricate stained-glass windows, this architectural gem is a highlight of most Azerbaijan holiday package itineraries.
The ornate Khan's Palace, the centuries-old caravanserais, and the intricate stained glass work known as shebeke all speak to a cultural depth that takes time to fully appreciate. For anyone looking to move beyond the capital and experience a different side of the country, Sheki is an essential stop.

Caravanserais

Long before modern hotels, caravanserais served as places of rest and refuge for merchants, traders, and travelers making their way along the Silk Road. These historic inns were once buzzing with commerce, conversation, and the mingling of cultures from across the ancient world. Today, many of them still stand — their thick stone walls and central courtyards quietly holding centuries of stories.
Walking through one feels less like a tourist stop and more like a genuine encounter with the past, a reminder of just how deeply connected Azerbaijan once was to the wider world.

Guba, Khinalug & Lahij – Authentic Mountain Villages

For travellers seeking deeper cultural immersion, trips to Azerbaijan often extend into mountain villages.

• Guba – Scenic forests and fruit orchards
• Khinalug – One of the oldest continuously inhabited villages in the world
• Lahij – Famous for copper craftsmanship and cobbled streets

These destinations are commonly added to premium Azerbaijan travel packages.

Azerbaijani Cuisine – A Culinary Experience

Food is a central part of Azerbaijani hospitality. Signature dishes include:

• Plov (saffron rice dishes)
• Dolma (stuffed grape leaves)
• Kebab varieties
• Fresh herbs and yogurt-based sides
• Traditional sweets like pakhlava

Most Azerbaijan holiday packages include daily breakfast, with optional upgrades for culinary tours.
