What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inThere is no regular minibus service from the airport.
  • Get inMinibuses are available that also make the trip in one day; these are more expensive and are usually booked through your hotel.
  • Get inMinibuses that claim to take you to Gonder will instead drop you off near Azezo, about outside of town.
  • Get inYou will need to take a bus to Bahir Dar and change at the major intersection outside Worota (also called Wereta) but the driver will telephone ahead for you and arrange a minibus for those passengers going to Gondar.
  • Get inThe minibus may well terminate at Fasilades Bath in Gondar rather than the bus station.
