Kigali Convention Centre
An Icon of Modern Rwanda
The Kigali Convention Centre (KCC) is one of Rwanda’s most recognizable landmarks and a symbol of the country’s rapid growth and modernization. Located in the heart of Kigali, this state-of-the-art facility has become an architectural icon with its striking dome-shaped design inspired by traditional Rwandan huts. Illuminated at night with vibrant LED lights, the centre is not only a hub for international conferences and events but also a must-see attraction for visitors exploring Kigali.
Opened in 2016, the Kigali Convention Centre has positioned Rwanda as a leading destination for business tourism and global conferences. It hosts high-profile events such as the African Union Summits, international business forums, and cultural exhibitions, attracting thousands of delegates from around the world. With a 2,600-seat auditorium, modern meeting spaces, and advanced technology infrastructure, KCC has been praised as one of Africa’s premier conference venues.
Beyond its role in business, the Convention Centre has become a cultural and lifestyle landmark. It is connected to the five-star Radisson Blu Hotel Kigali, offering world class accommodation, fine dining, and luxurious amenities. Visitors can also enjoy nearby restaurants, rooftop bars, and shopping areas, making it an excellent place to experience Kigali’s cosmopolitan side.
The Kigali Convention Centre is more than a building it represents Rwanda’s vision for the future. It reflects the country’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and hospitality, serving as both a business hub and a tourist attraction. For many travelers, a photo stops at the dome, especially at night when it glows in dazzling colors, is one of the highlights of a trip to Kigali.
