 As the gateway to Central from the East and lapped by the waters of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan history is dominated by the old trade routes of Eurasia - especially the Silk Road. Some 6,000 historical monuments dating from thousands of years ago and built by a myriad of cultures beckon travelers to Azerbaijan.
Ancient cities and towns, palaces, mausoleums, churches and mosques, chapels, caravanserais and watchtowers are just some of the monuments which remain to fascinate visitors, warmly welcomed by the Azeri people whose reputation for hospitality is legendary.
Besides its historical attractions, Azerbaijan also offers the stunning natural beauty of its diverse landscape which includes the seashore, forest, mountain and plain, and a climate so diverse that one can experience the four seasons in one day in various parts of the country.
Many tourists also come to enjoy the country world-class health spas and mineral springs, its theaters and museums and international sports events. Azerbaijan became an independent nation in 1991 following the break-up of the former Soviet Union. Goods and services are increasingly available in the capital, Baku.
