The Ferris wheel located on Baku’s Seaside Boulevard, near Flag Square, has been one of the city’s recognizable attractions for more than a decade.
The structure was put into operation in 2014 and rises to about 60 meters, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views of the capital, the Caspian Sea coastline and several major landmarks.
The attraction consists of 30 transparent cabins, offering views of the waterfront, the city center and the Flame Towers complex.
Operators say the attraction undergoes daily technical inspections before opening to ensure safe operation.
Interest in the Ferris wheel typically increases during the summer season and on weekends, when both residents and tourists visit the seaside boulevard.
However, despite its central location and scenic views, the attraction does not always attract large crowds.
Ticket prices are 10 manats for local residents and 15 manats for foreign visitors.
According to staff, even on weekends the number of visitors can remain relatively low, with a noticeable share of guests being foreign tourists.
Observers say that while the attraction offers one of the best panoramic views of Baku, many residents still prefer other popular viewpoints around the city.
