Frequently asked questions
About Lalibela
Lalibela is a town in northern Ethiopia known for its rock-cut churches dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. The currency used in Lalibela is the Ethiopian Birr. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major pilgrimage site for Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. Lalibela is also famous for its unique architecture and cultural significance. Visitors can explore the underground tunnels and monolithic structures that make up the churches.
When to visit
The best time to visit Lalibela is during the dry season from October to March when the weather is mild and pleasant. The rainy season from June to September can make travel difficult due to muddy roads and limited visibility. However, visiting during the rainy season can also offer a unique perspective on the lush landscapes and vibrant greenery of the region.
Getting around
In Lalibela, visitors can get around on foot as most of the attractions are within walking distance of each other. Taxis and minibuses are also available for longer distances or for exploring the surrounding areas. Hiring a local guide is recommended for navigating the complex network of churches and historical sites in Lalibela.
Traveller tips
When visiting Lalibela, it is important to dress modestly out of respect for the religious sites and local customs. Be prepared for high altitudes as Lalibela is situated at over 2,500 meters above sea level. Make sure to carry enough cash as ATMs may be limited in the area. Bargaining is common in markets, so be prepared to negotiate prices. Lastly, try the local cuisine such as injera, a traditional Ethiopian flatbread, and tibs, a spicy meat dish.
