    Flame towers: Completed in 2012, this trio of sinuous blue-glass skyscrapers forms contemporary Baku’s modern architectural signature. The design was conceived as a set of flames, driven from the ground up one of the main hills of Baku. Fire symbolizes energy and eternity, and also goes back to the ancient worship of this element. Baku National Boulevard: the 2nd longest boulevard in the world, which is the favorite resting g place of the Baku residents and capital guests, stretching for a long way along the seashore.

    Mini Venice: This “little Italian town” recreated at the seaside boulevard adds a special colour to the park. The Little Venice consists of several channels, where gondolas and gondoliers sail between the small bridges and invite the guests to a romantic journey. In the restaurants at the “shore”, you will be able to enjoy a tasty dinner, get some appetizer and drinks, or just relax with a cup of tea and make clouds with shisha.

    Flag Square: If you go a little further towards the city you will find yourself at the National Flag Square. In fact, you won’t be able to bass by without seeing it. In May 2010, this flagpole has been registered in the “Guinness book of records” as the tallest in the world.

Many sizable world hotel chains have a presence in the city. Natural climatic conditions of the region create opportunities for the development of both summer and winter tourism in the region. The northern side of Gabala belongs to the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, the central part to Alazan-Haftaran valley, the southern part to Ajinohur upland. Furthermore, the highest mountain peak of the republic- Mount Bazarduzu (4466 meters) is situated in this region. Gabala is around 225Kms away from Baku.

Swimming in the Hohur lake is prohibited, however, fishing is allowed here – this is one of the main entertainment attractions that people enjoy near this place. Nohur lake which existed as a natural lake until 1949, used to be surrounded by a swamp covered with dense reeds and water plants and there was a lake with yellowish-green water in a deep groove in the central part of it. In 1949, by building a soil dam with 850 m length, 8-10 m height and 4-6 m width, a water-storage reservoir was constructed in the south part of this lake.

Gobustan State Reserve is very rich in archeological monuments, the reserve has more than 6,000 rock carvings, which depict primitive people, animals, battle-pieces, ritual dances, bullfights, boats with armed oarsmen, warriors with lances in their hands, camel caravans, pictures of sun and stars, on the average dating back to 5,000-20,000 years.

    Mud Volcanoes – a whole family of ‘geologically flatulent’ little conical mounds that gurgle, ooze, spit and sometime erupt with thick, cold, grey mud. It’s more entertaining than it sounds – even when activity is at a low ebb, you get the eerie feeling that the volcanoes are alive. Azerbaijan is in the first place in the world for the amount of mud volcanoes. Mud volcanoes broadly spread in Azerbaijan. Half of the total mud volcanoes in the world is in Azerbaijani Republic.

    Ateshgah (Suraxani Fire Temple) – “Fire Temple of Baku” is a castle-like religious temple based on Persian and Indian inscriptions, the Zoroastrian place of worship. Although the site was originally a place of worship for Zoroastrians, the fortified complex you see today was built by 18th-century Indian Shiva devotees.
