The hills around the town offer dramatic scenery and walks, and the palace is the heart of local tradition and festivals. The Ikogosi warm springs, where a warm and a cold spring meet, lie a short drive away.
Motorcycle taxis, known as okada, and shared taxis are the main transport. Roads connect to Ado-Ekiti and Ilesa, and a hired car with a driver is the most comfortable way to explore.
