Attractions
Baku, the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, is an amazing combination of modernity and rich history. Situated on the coast of the Caspian Sea, this cosmopolitan city is famous for its towering skyscrapers, historical monuments and picturesque coastal areas. One of the significant features of Baku is its modern architectural appearance. The city has modern buildings rising high, such as the famous Flame Towers, which create a magnificent spectacle of sparkling fire at night.
Mount Yanardag, located in Azerbaijan, is a unique natural site with a volcanic history. This mountain, whose peak rises to a height of about 640 meters above sea level, is one of the interesting places in the country. One of the distinctive features of Yanardag is the recent release of natural gas through pores in the ground, which creates flames on the slopes of the mountain. These natural gas springs have been known since ancient times and are the reason why the place received the name "Burning Mountain". The flames escaping from cracks in the ground create an impressive view and make Mount Yanardag a unique phenomenon.
