Over the past few years, Baku has become a lot greener and more beautiful, due to its colorful parks, some of which were re-constructed, and the new ones that were opened.

Baku Seaside Park, Boulevard, is the most attractive place for all who visit the capital of Azerbaijan. Residents and guests of the city are attracted here by the cool air and closeness of the sea. Every guest will find here something he likes. Children play on all kinds of swings and equipment. One can sit in an outdoor cafe, drink aromatic tea, and enjoy frosty ice cream. Take a ride on a boat around Baku harbor, from where you will have a magnificent view of the grand scenery of the city.

Philharmonia Garden, also called Governor's Park, is a park next to Baku fortress. This is a great place where you can escape the heat of the summer. What residents of Baku love most about this place is that it seems like the whole park is protected by the walls of the Old City. For those who have read "Ali and Nino" by Kurban Said, let me tell you that this is where Ali would meet his sweetheart Nino...

Fountains Square derives its name from the presence of dozens of fountains throughout the square first constructed during Soviet period.

The square is a public gathering place, especially after business hours and during the weekend. It is an attractive tourist destination with many boutiques, restaurants, shops, hotels and passage.
