Baku Ferris Wheel, Ferris wheel in Seaside National Park, Baku, Azerbaijan

The Baku Ferris Wheel is a 60-meter-tall observation structure at Baku Boulevard with 30 enclosed cabins positioned along the waterfront promenade. The structure provides panoramic views of the Caspian Sea and the city's skyline during a gentle rotation.

The wheel was built by the Dutch company Dutch Wheels and opened on 10 March 2014 by President Ilham Aliyev, opening to the public two days later. Its 60-metre diameter makes it three times larger than the old attraction it replaced on Baku Boulevard.

The wheel symbolizes Baku's transformation into a modern tourist destination, showing how the city blends traditional elements with contemporary entertainment. It has become part of the waterfront where both residents and visitors gather to take in views of the sea and cityscape.

A full rotation takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes. The 30 cabins are enclosed and air-conditioned, and doors open and close centrally for safety; two VIP cabins seat four instead of eight. From the top, riders see Baku Bay, National Flag Square and the Crystal Hall.

Each cabin features air conditioning and information screens that display details about the landscape and city below. These technical touches transform the ride into more than a simple observation experience by entertaining and educating visitors during their rotation.
