Highland Park is a gem perched above Baku, offering an unmatched vantage point over city landmarks like the Old City, Flame Towers, Baku Bay, and the Boulevard. It’s one of the best spots to pause and take in the city’s beauty, especially at sunset, when the skyline transforms into a glowing tapestry of lights.  

You can reach the park by funicular (just 4 minutes for 1 AZN), climb the historic limestone stairs, or drive up, there’s parking too, making it accessible for all kinds of visitors.   

The park’s layout feels thoughtful and relaxed. Wide terraces, shaded alleys, and terraces built from beautiful Baku limestone were designed by architect Lev Ilyin decades ago. It’s a place that invites quiet strolling, coffee breaks, and plenty of photo ops.  

At night, Highland Park takes on a special charm, its lighting, fountains, and terraces come alive, giving the space a dreamy, cinematic feel.
