Fountain Square is one of the focal points in Baku. It's at the heart of the main retail area and has cafes, bars and restaurants in the centre and around the edges. It's a fun place to hang out during the day for a coffee or early evening.

Unfortunately we had only scheduled a day in Baku, arriving from Ashgabat at 3:00 a.m. and leaving on the night train to Tbilisi at 8:45 p.m. Had we known, we would have planned to stay longer. Fountain Square is a lovely area and feeds into Nizami (formerly Trade Street), which in my mind competes with some of the finest in... More

The place to be seen and watch the world go by :-) Also the only place in Azerbaijan that I have seen a beach of McDonalds! Blots of ex pat pubs and Irish themed boozers where you can enjoy a pint of Guinness with friends.

Over the years Fountain Square has evolved and become trendier as Baku has become flush with oil wealth, however, it still has the same sweet heart. The democratic sense of Fountain Square, where people go to stroll, take children to play and to meet and greet one another remains the same. There are many good restaurants (Beruit - Super Lebanese... More

Nothing special about it but this place is the heart of the city. No matter the season it is always full of people. You can find tea houses, cafes and restaurants or enjoy the outside weather. Square is fully decorated for christmas right now, therefore the best scene can be seen during this time of year. Enjoy :)

This place is full of people with children and dogs, as it's a relaxing area in the middle of the city...However , must say not my favourite....A bit commercial.

The photo featured by this review panel is of the Philharmonia and not the Fountain square. Fountain Sauare has been totally renovated since I first visited Baku, is much more open and lacks the fountains that was ince there. Some shopping there, a couple of restaurants and a MacDonalds whic is very busy. A few seats to sit on and... More
