What to do and see in Baku, Absheron Region: The Best Nature & Parks

July 23, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Persian capital, through its oil boom to its Soviet occupation. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.

Upland Park, is located close to the Flame towers. It gives a great vantage point to view much of the 'City of Lights' (Baku). Whilst great during the day, it really transforms the view at night when th city is illuminated.

A very nice place with a neo-classical fountain right in the middle, right beside the old city walls. Great place to take photos and very romantic too. Highly recommended to spend some time there with your beloved one

Mud Volcanoes

Reviewed By TheLush101 - Cardiff, United Kingdom

As Tissa010 says below, they're not massive volcanoes, but even so, I thought they were pretty cool. Our tour included this and we changed from a modern vehicle into a Lada, which our driver let us have a go at driving. We got here early in the morning, which is the best time to visit as just before we left, there were lots of tourists arriving. The volcanoes are small hills, with mud bubbling from them - definitely worth seeing something unique

Yuva Zoo

Reviewed By ShahlaM - Baku, Azerbaijan

I used to visit YUVA during my pregnancy period after hard working day, and I can surely say that it is the best anti stress place. You will forgot all your problems and will enjoy your time with the cutest animals. I am in love with the little white puppy in YUVA. You can see it from my photos. In YUVA you will meet funny monkey, serious pony, hyper active rabbits, hyper passive turtle, colorful parrots and many other cuteness. You can play with them, you can feed them as well. The place is very clean. I am waiting with inpatient to take my sun there. You are still reading my review? Hurry up, just take your kids and go to YUVA! :)
