Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is a country located in the southern part of the Caucasus, at the crossroads of Southwest Asia and Southeastern Europe. It shares a border with Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran and its exclave with Turkey. Due to its particular geographic location, Azerbaijan is a real blend of East and West, with a deep and intriguing history. For this reason, in my opinion, this is a particularly interesting Caucasian country. The capital city, Baku provides an eclectic mixture of architectural phenomena from the likes of Paris and Dubai and is rapidly changing. Surrounding the old city centre are beautiful mansions and pedestrian streets lined with trees and exclusive boutiques, all of which adds to the unique feel that the city holds.
