Azerbaijan<\/a> is one of those destinations that makes you wonder why you didn\u2019t visit sooner. It\u2019s at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Russia and the Middle East, with the flavors of all four (but especially Europe) blended into its architecture, cuisine, handicrafts and traditions.<\/p>\n

Also: 3 perfect days in Budapest<\/a><\/p>\n

Baku<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Flame Towers of Baku<\/p><\/div>\n

Baku, the capital city, has been called the \u201cParis of the Caucusus\u201d for its broad boulevards lined with Beaux Arts buildings and fountains, and mile-long walkway along the Caspian Sea which is as popular for strolling as the Seine. The country\u2019s vast oil and gas reserves have made it an important international trading capital for more than a century, and oil and gas are fueling modern architecture, as well.<\/p>\n

Baku\u2019s skyline is dominated by the\u00a0Flame Towers<\/strong>, a trio of curved office and residential towers lit at night with a neon display of flames and other kaleidoscopic patterns. One of the best places to watch is from the terrace of the\u00a0Palace of Shirvanshah<\/strong>, which dates from the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0century.<\/p>\n

This limestone Palace is part of Baku\u2019s ancient Walled City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of thelargestwalled cities in the world. About half the palace’s 47 rooms and vestibules are open for touring. The Throne Room has magnificent ancient furnishings and a tile-domed ceiling. The furniture and carpeting are real, but the intricately patterned tiles are via high-tech virtual reality imaging.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Maiden Tower<\/p><\/div>\n

Also within the old city walls is\u00a0The Maiden Tower<\/strong>, worth climbing for its picture postcard view of the city and Caspian Sea. It\u2019s also called the Virgin Tower, in honor of the daughter of the 12th<\/sup>\u00a0century king who built it. She threw herself off rather than marry the man her father chose for her.<\/p>\n

Baku was a stop along the ancient spice trading route, and the old\u00a0Caravansari<\/strong>\u00a0was where camel caravans rested and refreshed. The outdoor courtyard now houses restaurants and cafes, and the surrounding rooms are shops. Mangal, at Boyk Gala 17 in the Old City, has a traditional restaurant on one side, and a modern one on the other. Women bakeflatbread on griddles, while men handle the open-fire grills, for both.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0National<\/strong>\u00a0Museum of History<\/strong>\u00a0is in an 1883 Renaissance-style mansion, the former home of an oil baron. Displays include Stone Age pottery and tools, medieval chain mail, mannequins in a variety of traditional regional dress, and a section showcasing Azerbaijan\u2019s Jewish history, including an 1852 Torah from the Ukraine (despite being more than 90 percent Muslim, this secular nation has strong Christian and Jewish communities).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0National Carpet Museum<\/strong>\u00a0looks like a rolled-up carpet outside. Inside, hundreds of finely made carpets in complicated patterns line the curved walls over two floors, along with samples\u00a0of incredibly detailed cloth embroidery. Artisans also work on looms to show visitors how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Heydar Aliyev Center<\/p><\/div>\n

The undulating and dramatic all-white\u00a0Heydar Aliyev Center<\/strong>, named for the founderof modern Azerbaijan, includes an exhibit on the country\u2019s history, art galleries and a concert and conference hall. It was designed by the late Iraqi-British architect\u00a0Zaha Hadid<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with one glass-walled side that catches sunlight to illuminate the galleries with natural light.<\/p>\n

Martyr\u2019s Avenue<\/strong>\u00a0is a monument to the slaughter of nearly 150 civilians by Soviet troops in 1990, demonstrating against a territorial invasion. It wasn\u2019t the first time Russia has claimed Azerbaijan. The Bolsheviks seized it in 1917, and the country did not regain independence from the Soviet Union until 1998. Independence Day, October 18, is celebrated nationally with traditional music and dance festivals.<\/p>\n

Azeri cuisine<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Lamb kabobs<\/p><\/div>\n

Food here is influenced by all its geographic neighbors and history, including Persian, Ottoman and Greek, and since the country grows nearly all its own food, everything is literally farm-to-table. Restaurant meals are nearly always served family style, with huge platters to share.<\/p>\n

Lamb kabobs and kofta (lamb burgers) are on every menu, along with miniature rice-stuffed grape leaves. Be sure to try\u00a0plov<\/em>, a rice pilaf dotted with bits of plums, apricots, raisins, cashews and lamb.<\/p>\n

Day trips beyond Baku<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Gobustan

Gobustan petroglyphs | Flickr CC: Luigi Guarimmo<\/p><\/div>\n

Azerbaijan means \u201cland of fire\u201d in the Azeri language. The country likely was named for Yanar Dagh, or Burning Mountain, 20 miles northeast of Baku. There are constant flames from gas escaping from fissures in the earth. But unlike a fiery volcano, there\u2019s no spewing rocks or flowing magma.<\/p>\n

If you want volcanoes, the Azerbaijan version is all mud. Nearly half the world\u2019s mud volcanoes are a few miles south of\u00a0Gobustan National Park<\/strong>, an hour\u2019s drive from Baku. Nearly 400 bubbling mud pots have formed a grey moonscape that looks like it was created by a mad potter throwing giant blobs of clay.<\/p>\n

Gobustan is famous for its petroglyphs, or rock art drawings, dating back some 40,000 years, with figures depicting dancing, hunting and animals. The rocky landscape will be familiar to James Bond fans: it was the location for one of the chase scenes in\u00a0Once is Not Enough.<\/em>\u00a0There\u2019s also a small museum in the park.<\/p>\n

More than 50 grape varieties are grown in Azerbaijan, with dozens of small, family-owned vineyards in the foothills southeast of Baku. Some have been producing wines since the 16th<\/sup>\u00a0century, founded by the Shirvanshah ruling dynasty. You might want to spend more than a day here, because the closest area is 100 miles from Baku. There are two wine routes, the northern one ending at Balakan skirts the Russian border.<\/p>\n

Azerbaijan requires a visa, which can be applied for electronically<\/a>.<\/p>\n
