What to expect
Highland Park, well known as ‘’Viewing Square’’, and earlier in Soviet-era as ‘’Sergei Kirov park’’ is one of the most favorite places in Baku to have a walk, rest, and enjoy the sea view. There you can take rest by breathing fresh air, viewing the city, drinking tea in the Highland Park Café , while listening to the classic lounge music. It’s the best place to relax, which is located right in the heart of Baku.

Little Venice” in Baku Boulevard is a small town built-in 1960. It was expanded up to 10.000 sq.m. in 2012. The town has two large and several small islands, which are connected by decorative stone bridges, and gondolas can be seen traveling in the channels full of still and clean water. In the 1950s and 1960s the Mirvari (Pearl) cafe, the Little Venice water park, the Bahar (Spring) cinema, and other entertainments were built in Baku Boulevard. “Little Venice” in Baku Boulevard is a small town built-in 1960. It was expanded up to 10.000 sq.m. now. The town has two large and several small islands. The redevelopment of the “Small Venetian town” saw the expansion of the existing channels and the construction of additional bridges and two restaurants, one offering Western cuisine and the other Eastern. Boats are provided for 4 people: one is designed for guide and the rest – for passengers. Located nearby the Caspian seashore you will feel as in Venice by visiting ‘Small Town of Venice’. The restaurants located in the ‘islands’ offer various meals of different cuisine, including Azerbaijanian tasty dishes. It will be interesting firstly to observe around in gondola, later to have a great lunch or dinner in the ‘islands’. Currently, Mini Venice has several islands that are divided by pristine water channels. Beautiful ornate bridges connect these islands. You can hire a 4 seater Gondola for a ride around these islands. There is one Eastern and one Western restaurant in this complex. I found this place very tranquil and serene. The feeling of drifting in a gondola, next to the Caspian Sea, very relaxing.
