Getting Around
Getting around Gonder is an adventure in itself. For longer distances or reaching sites outside the immediate city center, 'bajajs' (three-wheeled taxis) are readily available and affordable. Agree on the fare before starting your journey. Within the historic sites like Fasil Ghebbi, walking is the best way to explore. For day trips to nearby attractions, hiring a car with a driver is recommended, offering flexibility and local knowledge. Public minibuses connect different parts of the city, but can be crowded and less direct for tourists.
