Azerbaijan, the "Land of Fire," straddles Europe and Asia on the Caspian Sea coast. Baku, the capital, is a striking blend of medieval Old City walls, Zaha Hadid's flame-shaped towers, and oil-wealth opulence. Beyond the capital, the country offers the burning mountain of Yanar Dag, ancient Zoroastrian temples, the wine country of Sheki, and the mud volcanoes of Gobustan. Azerbaijani cuisine features excellent kebabs, plov (pilaf), and aromatic teas.
