Baku
Kicik Venesiya (Mini Venice)
A charming “Little Venice” on Baku’s seaside boulevard – a network of clean canals, islands and decorative stone bridges first built in 1960 and greatly expanded in 2012. Glide through in a gondola, then settle in at one of the island restaurants for Azerbaijani and international dishes.
Eleven Restaurant & Lounge
A glamorous lounge on the 11th floor of the Park Inn with sweeping views over Baku Bay by night. A favourite for a lively evening out – come at the weekend when local and visiting jazz singers perform live with their bands.
