The 18th century of Ethiopia was Gondar, where then Emperor Fasiladas built his fairy tale castles.

​

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is now a wonderful museum complex that showcases the last centuries of the country’s emperors.

​

Lying in a bowl of hills, the Camelot of Africa is a magnificent sight.

The wealth and splendor of this ancient capital can still be seen in the modern city.

​

Despite its size Gondar is extremely walkable – start from the Italian piazza in the city centre and enjoy a stroll through tin-roofed stone buildings.

​

Great shopping, restaurants, and hotels are all available here. In nearby Gorgora you’ll find a small but impressive Christian monastery
