Gonder Travel Tips

By Ben Sumner
  • Visit the field of majestic ruins, a half-dozen castles and other buildings in a walled-off area called Fasil Ghebbi, or the Royal Enclosure.
  • The city of Gonder was founded by King Fasilidas in 1635 and served as Ethiopia's capital for 250 years.
  • Fasilidas's bathing pool often serves as the gathering point for Epiphany Festival, held January 19.
  • The nightlife in the town's many bars—typically with live music played on traditional Ethiopian instruments—makes for a great counter-balance to the overwhelming European-ness of it all.
