Baku Boulevard (Seaside National Park)

Baku Boulevard follows the curve of the Caspian shore. Also known as the Seaside National Park, it combines a waterfront promenade with gardens, cafes and views across the bay. The sea is the constant companion; the buildings around it change as you walk.

The Carpet Museum and Little Venice are useful landmarks along the southern part of the central promenade. Farther along, the waterfront continues well beyond what may seem like a short stroll on a map. Choose a stretch that suits your time and energy. Towards evening, the changing sky gives another view of the Flame Towers and the city's hillside.
