During a tour of the capital of Azerbaijan, travelers armed with a tourist card will find the monument to Nikola Tesla, the Heydar Aliyev Center, the Shirvanshahs Palace, the Maiden Tower and other interesting places in Baku.
Unusual sights of Baku
- Fountain Square: famous for sculptures (depicting local people in their daily affairs), fountains and an area that is green and framed with red and white stones. Also, laser performances are often held here.
- Parachute tower: this 75-meter structure adorns Primorsky Boulevard. Previously, those who wished used it for parachute jumps. But after the death of a person, the tower was turned into an electronic board with the time, date and air temperature reflected on it (in the evening the board is illuminated with neon lights).
- Flame Towers: According to those who have seen these towers, they look like tribal languages (the facades of the buildings are covered with LED screens showing the movement of fire). To enjoy the best view of the “blazing fire”, it makes sense to go to the embankment in the evening.
What interesting places to visit in Baku?
It will be interesting for the guests of Baku to look at the exhibits exhibited in the Museum of Azerbaijani Carpet (in a building resembling a rolled carpet, guests will see at least 14,000 exhibits, the oldest of which is a fragment of the Tabriz carpet “Ovchulug” woven in the 17th century; in addition to carpets, the museum displays dishes, weapons, embroidery, 12th century faience collection) and the Baku Museum of Miniature Books (7,500 miniature books of different eras and genres of literature are exhibited there; the most valuable exhibit is a book with 20 pages, 2 by 2 mm in size, and the text and illustrations can only be seen from using a magnifying glass).
Walking around the city, it is worth looking for a fiery and musical fountain not far from the Koroglu metro station, which deserves to be “lit up” on vacation photographs - it was created from crystal and stainless steel, and in the evening it is illuminated by laser projectors.
A must-see place is “Baku Venice” (complex of walking and water canals): fountains and bridges in the Venetian style brought fame to this place. Everyone will be able to ride a gondola along the canals.
Do you want to admire the beautiful panorama of the capital of Azerbaijan, namely: Primorsky Boulevard, Icheri Sheher quarter and Baku Bay? Go to Nagorny Park, which can be reached by stairs from Primorsky Boulevard or by funicular (the station is located at the Carpet Museum). It has a cafe, Martyrs' Alley, an open theater and observation decks
Those who decide to visit Aqua Park Shikhov will be delighted with the trampolines, water slides, 4 swimming pools around which there are tables, sun beds and awnings. And next to it there is a well-equipped beach strip.
