  Perched beside the oil-rich Caspian Sea, compact, hospitable Azerbaijan is astounding in its scenic variety. Painted moonscape deserts, snow-capped Caucasian peaks, subtropical forests and flower-filled grasslands all lie within a few hours’ drive of Baku, the artistically-vibrant, cosmopolitan capital with its UNESCO-recognized walled Old City.

  Since the first edition in 1999 this map-packed book has become the definitive guide for visitors and residents alike. Now in its expanded and fully-updated third edition it’s more practical than ever.
  Practical information – Visas, getting to Azerbaijan, where to stay, where to eat

  Sights and excursions – Discover bubbling mud volcanoes, linguistically-unique stepped villages, ruined castles, a flaming hillside and fire-temple, iron-wood forests, water that ‘catches fire’, ‘magical’ rocks kissed smooth by superstitious wish-seekers. On foot, by car, 4WD, bus, train or horse be among the first tourists to explore delightful Azerbaijan since Noah sailed across the country 5000 years ago, his Ark carving a great gash through Nakhchivan’s Snake Mountain.

  190 maps – Includes even more maps, illustrated with over 160 sketches and diagrams. As well as showing hotels, restaurants, bus stops etc, these maps also include landmarks at key unsigned junctions to help motorists and hikers.

  Once the richest oil city in the world, several decades of Soviet occupation left the capital of Azerbaijan leagues behind the competition. Now a new wave of oil money and development has fed Baku’s growth into one of the most excitingly developing cities on the globe. In this, the first English language guide to Baku in the world, Hg2 unveils a city on the up and straddling the true dividing line of East and West. Discover a richly diverse and cosmopolitan city, filled with Persian bazaars, Georgian gastronomy, Caucasian hospitality, stunning architecture, luxurious hotels and the UNESCO world heritage site walled old town. A short journey from Baku lie mud volcanoes, lush forests and desert plains rising into the glory of the Caucasus mountains, to say nothing of the photogenic marvel of the Caspian oil refineries. Where Europe collides with Asia and Persian roots have grown into European aspirations, Baku has developed into one of the world’s last true melting pots of ancient and modern, East and West.
