Baku Boulevard
The Seaside National Park along the Caspian shore — a favourite promenade for locals and visitors since 1909.
Baku Boulevard — officially the Seaside National Park — was laid out in 1909 on the initiative of the city's oil industrialists. Ever since, it has been Baku's favourite promenade.
An expansion that began in 2012 made the Boulevard much longer, with new parks, fountains and walkways. Along it are the canals of Little Venice, the Carpet Museum, the Baku Eye Ferris wheel and wide views over the Caspian.
In the evening you can watch the lights of the Flame Towers and the walls of the Old City from the Boulevard. A walk, a bike ride or a boat trip by the sea is the simplest and loveliest way to relax in the city.
