Kigali
Rwanda's capital spreads across a series of hills, with a walkable centre well supplied with cafés and restaurants. As the country's economic and administrative hub, Kigali sits within reach of water and with mountain views in the wider landscape, and the broader region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites. The city is divided across three districts — Kicukiro, Nyarugenge, and Gasabo — each with its own character.
