    Tourism  
    Mountainous terrain, spas, historical sites, an attractive seacoast and cave settlements are the chief attractions of Azerbaijan.

    Azerbaijan will appeal to travelers who are looking for something truly different, who are accustomed to travel in the former Soviet Union and who enjoy roughing things a bit. Don't go expecting varied shopping, nightlife, deluxe accommodations or a relaxing vacation.
