Azerbaijan is a country in the Caucasus region that straddles both Eastern Europe and Western Asia, so expect a collision of east and west, and you'll find enough to love. There are tiny subtropical seaside resorts on the Caspian Sea, or you may embrace Azerbaijan's nickname as the Land of Fire by visiting a blazing mountain or a mud volcano. There are hilltop towns with old mosques and minarets, as well as some of the world's most magnificent modern architecture, such as Baku's Flame Towers, so whatever your plans and time constraints, Azerbaijan has a lot to offer travelers at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.
