“Fun activity along Baku Boulevard ”
Nov 2019
LIttle Venice is an area within Baku Boulevard that is made up of man-made waterways. It was built in 1960 but was later expanded in 2012 and consists of a labyrinth of canals interspersed with islands that are connected by stone bridges complete with gondolas plying the canals. It was out of season and the canals were being dredged when we visited in November 2019. Little Venice isn't meant to be strictly authentic but it is a fun activity along Baku Boulevard.

This is just so fake, I can't grasp why people would build this, let alone ride a boat. It has nothing to do with Venice and lacks any atmosphere and purpose. Baku is better off highlighting aspects that are unique to the city and country than build stuff like this. Awful.

A nice bit of fun
Oct 2019
This is not a must do but it is a gentle bit of fun to while away a few minutes of an afternoon, while walking through the gardens.

Mini Venice so called. Nice and clean area and wonderful time around, Not just the boat ride only but many things more
Sep 2019
Its very nice place to walk and have a small boat ride by paying very minimal charges, Its fun of short time. If you are in Old City , or Maidan Tower or Sahil Area its the walkable distance to have the fun. Ticket is just 3 Manat.

Extremely unorganized
Aug 2018 • Family
There is no signage for the queues, you pay a couple of guys sitting on lawn chairs, no information at all about timings of boat departures, we were told to wait for an hour in the queue for our turn after we got our tickets so we asked whether we could walk around (as we had small children) and would come back in an hour - they refused this although many people showed up later having bought their tickets, walked around then came back in time for their turn. The boat driver was on his phone the entire time and the ride lasted for around 8-10 minutes.

Boating is amazing~
Jun 2019
It was a fantastic ride around this little creation. It's cool place and so relaxing. Drivers will row the boat on the little river sorrounded with restaurants and park. so nice place to chill and hang out! To mention the fare it's just 3 manat so cheap.

Unexciting
May 2019 • Couples
This is a strange attraction which seems decidedly unexceptional to me. A mix of waterways and concrete bridges doesn’t really make this Venice. On the plus side there were boats to hire and the attraction was clean and well kept.

Original !

Inspired by Venice , these canals blend well in the environment and points of interest on Baku Boulevard . Even though , the ride is short , it seems to be a lot of fun and attracts people of all ages ! It is right beside the Carpet Museum .
