@travel_with_ale: Baku feels like a mix of Europe, the Middle East and the former Soviet Union 🇦🇿✨ The capital of Azerbaijan sits on the Caspian Sea and becomes rich thanks to oil, transforming from an ancient Silk Road city into one of the most futuristic cities in the Caucasus. You can walk through the historic Old City, see Soviet architecture, then suddenly find futuristic skyscrapers like the Flame Towers. Azerbaijan itself is known as the “Land of Fire” because natural gas flames have burned here for centuries 🔥 In Baku you can find: 🏛️ UNESCO old town 🌊 Caspian Sea promenade 🔥 Flame Towers & fire culture 🍴 Amazing food 💸 Very affordable prices 🌃 Modern skyline mixed with history Definitely one of the most underrated cities between Europe and Asia. #baku #azerbaijan #caucasus #travel #solotravel
