Gondar and Lake Tana offer a wealth of historic sites and artwork, many of them off the beaten tourist tracks and still unstudied. Castles, churches, and paintings provide visitors with a sense of the cultural and artistic splendour that made this region famous in the world from a remote past and make travelling today through the region's history and natural resources an extraordinary experience. With the intent of facilitating the discovery of such a heritage, this guide is divided into three main sections: Gondar, Gorgora, and Bahir Dar. Each section deals in detail with the key monuments and with sightseeing in the area, providing all key information on travel, access, accommodations, and transport. |
