Baku Boulevard

Established in 1909, Baku Boulevard has long been a favourite place of recreation for the city’s residents. Gradually extended and landscaped over the years, the promenade today offers a welcome respite from the pace of urban life, framed by generous greenery and ever-changing views of the city and the Caspian shoreline.

More than simply a scenic seafront, Baku Boulevard is a lively public space featuring cafés, restaurants, cultural and entertainment venues, as well as open areas designed for walking, cycling and relaxation. The blend of landscaped parks, coastal vistas and an active social atmosphere makes it an ideal retreat without ever leaving the heart of the city.

On the Bayil stretch of the Boulevard, beyond Flag Square, visitors will find the world’s first “Surakhani” Ship-Museum, alongside the YARAT Centre for Contemporary Art and the Museum of 20th–21st Century Azerbaijani Painting.
