stroll through timein central Gusar
Gusar is a peaceful old city, sometimes referred to as the “northern gateway” of Azerbaijan due to its proximity to the Russian border.
Highlights of the town itself include a few colourful old cottages, reminiscent of a time when Gusar hosted a Russian military regiment during the Russian Empire, and Nariman Narimanov Park, one of the oldest parks in the country. There you’ll find pleasant alleys to stroll along in the shade of giant trees, as well as a teahouse and series of white Soviet-era statues.
At the local history museum, you can explore a collection of around 3,000 artefacts dating from the Bronze and Middle Ages. A variety of colourful and engaging works of art are exhibited at the Gusar State Art Gallery.
