Itinerary
1
Addis Ababa
Despite being a relatively new capital, Addis Ababa has a wealth of interesting museums and historic sights to visit. Make the most of your time in the city by taking one of our guided tours to see some of the highlights of what Addis has to offer.
4 hours
2
National Museum of Ethiopia
The oldest museum in Ethiopia, its most famous exhibit is "Lucy", the 3.5 million year old skeleton whose discovery in 1974 demonstrated that bipedal hominids evolved much earlier than previously thought. The museum also holds many other palaeontological and archaeological artefacts, as well as ethnographic and modern art displays.
2 hours
3
Holy Trinity Cathedral
Built to commemorate Ethiopia's emancipation from the Italian occupation, the cathedral is an important focal point for the Ethiopian Orthodox church. As a place of worship, it is considered second only to the Church of Our Lady Zion in Axum (where the original Ark of the Covenant is believed to be held).
1 hour
4
Mount Entoto
The site where Menelik II established his capital, Entoto mountain offers excellent views across the Addis Ababa and its surroundings, and a breath of (relatively) fresh air after the hustle and bustle of the city. Visit Menelik II's palace, the church of St. Mary and the Entoto museum.
1 hour
5
Shiro Meda Market
A chance to shop at the traditional market of Shero Meda
30 minutes
6
Mercato Market
The Mercato is reputedly the largest market in Africa, and is the commercial hub of Addis Ababa. A close-knit grid of streets crammed with stalls, kiosks and shops, you can buy virtually anything here, but be prepared to negotiate!
