It may be famed as ‘the Land of Fire’ but Azerbaijan is fast becoming a hub of the cool and cutting edge. The country’s capital, Baku, is a city on the up with its contemporary architecture, aqua parks and go-getting attitude.

With one foot in Asia and another in Europe, this is a country that rewards the intrepid.
