Información extra

While Mingachevir is not currently a travelling hotspot, wandering around the city will interest admirers of Soviet architecture and the presence of the Kura, Azerbaijan’s largest river, creates a special atmosphere. Moreover, from Mingachevir you can easily reach both Ganja and Sheki, cities located some 70km away in opposing directions and offering a variety of historical and cultural sights, as well as good hotels and restaurants. Another option is Naftalan, some 50km south-west, which is home to Azerbaijan’s famous healing oil therapies offered at a number of resorts, ranging from basic to extreme luxury.
