Highland Park (Baku) FAQs In 2026 - 2027

Highland Park, also known as 'Dagustu Park' (Upland Park), is renowned for offering panoramic views of Baku, including the Baku Bay, the Flame Towers, and the city skyline. It is a popular tourist attraction for its scenic beauty and its historical monuments, such as the Alley of Martyrs and the Eternal Flame memorial, which honor Azerbaijani heroes.

Highland Park can be reached by various modes of transport. Visitors can take a taxi or use public transportation such as buses to get near the park. There is a funicular railway from the city center to the park that offers an easy and scenic route to the top. Additionally, some tourists prefer to walk up the stairs from the National Seaside Park (Baku Boulevard) for a more immersive experience.

The best time to visit Highland Park is during the spring (April to June) or autumn (September to November) when the weather in Baku is mild and the views from the park are exceptionally clear. Early mornings and evenings are particularly good for photography and avoiding the midday sun, while nights offer a spectacular view of the illuminated city.
