Description
Explore Addis Ababa on a guided city tour. Visit the National Museum, Holy Trinity Cathedral, and Mount Entoto. Enjoy a traditional Ethiopian lunch and dinner, and explore the Addis Mercato.
Begin your day in Addis Ababa with a rich macchiato at the legendary Tomoca Coffee. Then, dive deep into the country’s origins at the National Museum, where you will stand face-to-face with Lucy, a 3.2-million-year-old ancestor.
From there, head to the stunning Holy Trinity Cathedral to marvel at its imperial tombs and vibrant stained glass. Next, trade the city streets for the cool, fragrant eucalyptus breeze of Mount Entoto and enjoy sweeping, panoramic views of the skyline.
After sharing a massive, communal platter of slow-simmered stews and tangy injera for lunch, plunge into the thrilling, sensory energy of the Addis Mercato (or the beautifully woven textile stalls of Shiromeda Market), followed by a relaxing late-afternoon stroll through the historic palace grounds of Unity Park.
Finally, end your day with a sensory feast of authentic flavors, hypnotizing live Ethio-jazz, and high-energy regional dances at a cultural hub like Yod Abyssinia or Fendika, sending you home with the true, beating heart of Ethiopia etched into your memory.
