Butare
Once Rwanda's largest city, Butare (also known as Huye) is home
to several important Rwandan landmarks, including the Christian
Cathedral and the national University of Rwanda. The two most
popular attractions in Butare, however, are the National Museum of
Rwanda, which chronicles the cultural history of the region through
displays of photos and traditional artefacts; and Nyanza, the
traditional seat of Rwanda's feudal monarchy, site of the restored
19th-century Royal Palace. The palace at Nyanza is home to the
Rwesero Art Museum, Olympic Academy, Sport Museum, Cultural Centre,
and stadiums of various sports.
Information & Facts
Language
Kinyarwanda, French and English are the official
languages. French is widely spoken, but English is limited to a few
people in the tourist centres.
Money
The official currency is the Rwanda franc (RWF), which is
divided into 100 centimes. The US dollar is the hard currency of
preference; travellers cheques are difficult to exchange, even in
the capital. Credit cards are only accepted at the major hotels in
Kigali.
