Kigali
Tourism in Rwanda isn't focused on its cities, but more and more
travellers are taking the time to visit Kigali, Rwanda's bustling
capital. Though Kigali is small and not especially scenic, it is
the administrative and financial heart of Rwanda, and home to
several interesting attractions like the sobering Kigali Genocide
Memorial Centre, which documents the Rwandan genocide of 1994, and
the Hotel Milles Collines (made famous in the film
Hotel Rwanda).
There are a reasonable number of hotels and a small variety of
restaurants in Kigali, and a busy market offering crafts and other
souvenirs. There isn't much in the way of nightlife in Kigali;
however there are a few bars and nightclubs.
Kigali's location makes it aconvenient stop on multinational
treks, with good road links to cities in Uganda, Tanzania and
Burundi. Kigali also makes a good base for arranging excursions to
Parc National des Volcans, home of Dian Fossey's research station
and grave.
