Gonder Travel Guide: 120 reviews and 263 photos

Gondar, the former capital of Ethiopia is a charming small city with a lot of places to stay, some good eateries and bars. The guides here are not so annoying like in other places, same like the kids.
There are several religious festivals every year and it must be indescribable to be here during Timkat , when thousands of pilgrims gather in town, the churches and at the nearby Fassilidas` Pool.

A pity, that you couldn't visit the interior of the Debre Berhan Selassie Church, but to see all the pilgrims must be great too, I suppose.
