The city of Musanze (formerly Ruhengeri) doesn't hold any particular interest for tourists, but it's an important Rwandan city. You'll easily find high-quality accommodation there and something to eat, before continuing your trip towards Gisenyi or the Volcanoes National Park.
For me, Volcanoes National Park is a must-see place during a trip to Rwanda. I was able to see mountain gorillas there, a unique experience! It can be interesting to spend several days in this park. If you do so, in my opinion, it's best to stay at Musanze.
The city also has a museum and the research centre founded by Dian Fossey, the legendary primatologist who devoted her life to the study and protection of gorillas, notably in Volcanoes National Park.
