Where To Go
Best places to visit in Gondar. Book a tour.
Fasilides Castle
Tour the Royal Enclosure, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring five castles built by a succession of Ethiopian Kings beginning in the early 17th century.
Having survived several wars, including air raids during World War 2, the castles are a testament to the resilience of this once mighty African Empire.
Debre Birhan Selassie
Debre Birhan Selassie Church is not much to look at from the outside the genuine treasures rest inside. Perched on a hill at the edge of Gondar lies what is considered the most significant church in Ethiopia. Built by Emperor Eyasu II in the 17th century and named in tribute to him the “Mountain of Light.”
Fasilides Bath
The Fasilides Baths are a stunning example of 16th-century Ethiopian architecture and design. Located in Gondar, this bath was commissioned by either Emperor Fasilides or his son Iysau I and are thought to have been built around the same time as the Royal Enclosure.
Simien Mountains
One of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, with jagged mountain peaks, deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500 m. The park is home to some extremely rare animals such as the Gelada baboon, the Simien fox and the Walia ibex, a goat found nowhere else in the world.
