OVERVIEW
Azerbaijan is bordered by the Russian Federation, Georgia and Iran. The country is divided by the Republic of Armenia into a smaller western part in the Lesser Caucasus and a larger eastern part, stretching from the Greater Caucasus to the Mugan, Mili and Shirvan Steppes and bordered by the Caspian Sea in the east.
As a result of the presence of international oil companies, accommodation is developing rapidly and there are now at least two 5-star hotels. In Baku, the medieval walled city, Icheri Sheker, has been restored and preserves a unique Middle-Eastern atmosphere, with its tea-houses and busy street-life. Visitors will find charming narrow streets and stone buildings leading to the waterfront, where the 12th-century Maiden's Tower (Gyz-Galasy) looks out over the bay.
Many restaurants, late-night bars and English-style pubs have opened in Baku, catering largely for the foreign business community and wealthy local business people.
Local people are mainly Armenian Apostolic and their official language is Armenian. The country has hot summers and cold winters. Azerbaijan's currency is the Dram.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Azerbaijan: US driving permits are accepted, the electricity runs on 220 Volts and the country code is 374.
