Baku Boulevard — A Walk Along the Caspian

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.

What to see

• Little Venice — canals with gondolas and footbridges.
• The Baku Eye Ferris wheel — views over the bay and the Flame Towers.
• The Carpet Museum in its rolled-carpet building.
• The International Mugham Centre and the seashell-shaped Deniz Mall.
• National Flag Square and Crystal Hall at the southern end.

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.
