What Azerbaijan is famous for?

How many days are enough for Azerbaijan?
Most people who visit Azerbaijan spend at least three days here. Apart from enjoying the architecture, visit Baku Boulevard along the Caspian Sea and ride the funicular for views of Baku Bay. The capital deserves at least a full day, ideally two or three.
What are tourists impressed by in Azerbaijan?
There are hillside towns that hide ancient mosques and minarets, as well as some of the most impressive modern architecture in the world in the form of the Flame Towers in Baku, so whatever your agenda and time restrictions, Azerbaijan has much to offer visitors at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.

Friendliness and welcoming nature. Locals tend to be warm and helpful towards tourists. Ask someone for help, and they're likely to be approachable and happy to give you advice. Nothing is ever too much for the typical Azeri, especially with the younger generations.
