During colonial times, this city, which is today Burundi's second largest, was the country's capital. The remarkable Gitega National Museum, which houses a vast collection of artifacts and antiquities from Burundi's past, is one of the city's many worthwhile attractions. The city is well-equipped for visitors, with a good selection of lodging alternatives to suit most budgets. The city is frequently included as an overnight stop on safari itineraries.
