Seaside National Park, or simply the Boulevard, runs along Baku Bay. It was founded in 1909 and, after recent extensions, stretches for many kilometres along the sea.

When to go

  • Morning — joggers, calm and fresh air.
  • Evening — illuminated buildings, music and families out walking.
  • In summer the sea breeze keeps it comfortable even on hot days.

Tips

Rent a bike or scooter, take a boat trip on the bay and have tea at a café by the water. The Boulevard is part of our Baku evening lights tour.
