Burundi's political capital since 2019 and the historical seat of its monarchy, set in cool central highlands. The National Museum holds royal artifacts, and the town is the home stage of the Royal Drummers of Burundi, whose ritual drumming is inscribed by UNESCO. Its unhurried streets offer a calmer counterpoint to Bujumbura.
