The city, which is 1005 kilometers (623 miles) from Addis Ababa, can be reached by surface as well as by air, and it can be visited virtually all year round. Visits there would be more interesting if they were made during the Ethiopian Christmas and Epiphany (January 7 and 19, respectively) when visitors will enjoy the colorful costumes and ornaments of the Ethiopian Orthodox priests and deacons.
