Victory Park
Боғи Ғалаба
A World War II memorial park on a hill east of the city, offering the best panoramic views over Dushanbe and the distant Hissar Mountains.
Victory Park was built in 1975 on high ground in the northeast of the city. It contains a memorial to the Great Patriotic War, an eternal flame, Soviet-style reliefs and displayed military hardware. Its greatest appeal is the view. From the observation platform you can see all of Dushanbe, the national flagpole and the snowy mountains to the north, and it is most beautiful at sunset. A cable car used to run up the hill, but driving or taking a taxi is now the main way up, and you can also climb the steps from below (about 20 minutes). Entry is free, and there are commemorative events on 9 May, Victory Day.
