Question 2

Is Kigali walkable?

Accepted Answer

Parts of central Kigali are walkable, but the city is hilly and sights are spread out. You can stroll the CBD and Kiyovu, but the Kigali Genocide Memorial, Inema Arts Centre, and Kimironko Market are several kilometres apart.

City buses by Kigali Bus Service and Royal Express run from Nyabugogo to Remera and Kimironko using Tap&Go cards, and moto-taxis are quick for short hops. For a smoother day linking key sites or reaching the hills, consider a private tour in Kigali.
