Gorgeously refurbished in advance of Eurovision, the square is beautiful and a fantastic place to people-watch. The number of cafes on the square is still limited.

Nicenenough but pretty much like many other squares in many other cities. It's the centre of the bars and restaurant areas so a good place to go to get your barring of the city

The Square is one of the several cozy 'fountain' squares of Baku. Besides several fountains it hosts other objects of modern street art. The Square is particularly enjoyable after dark. Location is at the hart of city's pedestrian/shopping/restaurant area.

This is one of main squares in the city and it looks gorgeous and very clean. You can sit here in a cafe for hours and watch the passing crowd. There are many good cafes and shops here. I like walking here in the evening.

Place is nice to walk. Some shops are available. Generally, area is clean. Crowd in the evening, especially on weekends. P.S. Thumbnail photo is not Fountain Square, that is former "Gubernator Garden", now "Phil-harmony Garden"

This is the place to be seen; as the local beauties come to walk around a very beautiful area with shops and cafe's etc early evening is the most popular time for walking around.

This square use to be the favorite place for local people - green and shadowy. In 2011 most of the trees were cut, the stone square was build and fountains installed (good design, I think). It is OK in winter, but in summer this place is extremely hot now
