Baku Boulevard (Denizkenari Milli Park)

A range of Baku sightseeing tours stop at Baku Boulevard. Excursions that focus on the contemporary and classic sides of the capital tend to contrast modern features, such as the Flame Towers, with more traditional areas, while night tours reveal Baku in its illuminated glory. You’ll likely drive past the boulevard on your way to Gobustan National Park, which is famous for its rock art and nearby mud volcanoes.

• The flat and evenly paved boulevard won’t pose problems for travelers using wheelchairs and strollers.

• There are two outdoor restaurants along the boulevard: a traditional grill and an Azerbaijani cuisine restaurant.

• There are two shopping malls home to cinemas, bowling alleys, global brands, and a range of restaurants and bars.

Take the small tourist train from the start to the end of the boulevard so you can sit back and soak up the sights. It stops at Azneft Square-Clock Tower and the haunted house attraction next to cacti. The nearest metro station is Sahil, a 5-minute walk away, which the Red Line services.

Baku Boulevard is a destination day or night. Rides and attractions open throughout the day, while restaurants and bars stay open late into the evening. The best time to visit Baku is between April and October when the climate is milder.

Just a short walk from Baku Boulevard are some of the Azerbaijan capital’s top attractions. The modern architecture of the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum showcases Azeri weaving; Highland Park offers panoramic views of the city; and the Flame Towers are gloriously illuminated at night with more than 10,000 LED lights.
