"Little Venice" of Baku


The Baku Venice is an amazing range of channels and islands, built on the Baku Boulevard in the capital of Azerbaijan. Several intersecting channels form islands, which house cosy café restaurants.
The islands are connected by decorative stone bridges, and gondolas can be seen travelling in the channels.  The Baku Venice is truly an amazing place in Baku, and one of the most favorite places of the city’s residents. It was commissioned in 1960. After a reconstruction, the site was re-opened in 2012.
