Baku
sightseeing
Who says you need a plan to have fun? Fountain Square in Baku is where the city truly comes alive, buzzing with lights, laughter, and life. Located in the heart of Azerbaijan’s capital, this vibrant hub is a blend of modern charm and local spirit, often compared to Delhi’s Connaught Place but with dancing fountains instead of honking cars.
From chic cafes and stylish boutiques to street performers and selfie-loving travellers, there’s always something happening here. As the sun sets, the fountains light up, music fills the air, and the whole square turns into a lively celebration. You might even stumble upon an open-air concert or a surprise flash mob! Whether you’re exploring with friends, family, or solo, Fountain Square is the pulse of Baku, and a must-visit stop on every Baku tour package for that perfect mix of culture, fun, and unforgettable city vibes.
