Places in Baku that you must see:

Little Venice is a small town in Baku that was built in 1960. Little Venice is possibly the most romantic part of the city. Back in 60s, the mayor of Baku, Alish Lambaranski, who was inspired by his trip to Venice in Italy, decided to create a similar experience in Baku. The redevelopment of this Little Venetian town recently saw the expansion of the existing channels. Additional bridges and two beautiful restaurants were built, which will add to your experience big time. One restaurant offers Western cuisine, and the other one offers Eastern cuisine. You must enjoy a boat ride here.
