The outflow from the hot water springs at the southern end of town. Adjacent to this is also a small local market where locally made cheap furniture, woven mats and livestock is sold - hardly visited by any any tourists.

Musanze cave; presently being prepared for official tourism toward the end of 2007. Mapping is in progress. Located about 2km from the centre of town on the way to Gisenyi.

Buhanga Forest on the outskirts of town with pathways laid in hand-shaped volcanic rock. A good site for birding walks and planning is underway for cultural tourism on the site as well i.e. dancing and sharing of folklore
Lake Ruhondo east of the town. This particular view is from the southern end of the lake. Development of tourism opportunities on and around the lake is also now in progress.
