Addis Ababa: Guided Hop-On Hop-Off Tour with Guide

Discover Addis Ababa on a guided hop-on hop-off tour. Visit the National Museum, Mount Entoto, Mercato Market, and the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Begin your tour at the Bole Skylight Hotel and head to the National Museum of Ethiopia. Spend around 1 hour and 15 minutes exploring the museum at your own pace. Discover Ethiopia’s archaeology and history, and see the famous hominid fossil “Lucy” (Dinknesh), one of the most important early human ancestors ever discovered.

Next, head to Mount Entoto. Enjoy panoramic views of Addis Ababa from the highlands and learn about Mount Entoto’s historical significance, including its connection to Emperor Menelik II’s first palace. Bring a camera to capture the excellent views, and enjoy the cooler air due to the altitude.

Continue to Mercato Market, one of the most lively places in the city. Spend 2-3 hours browsing a wide range of goods, including spices, textiles, crafts, and everyday items. Try the local tradition of bargaining and price negotiation. Wear comfortable shoes, as Mercato is busy and best enjoyed slowly.

Finally, visit the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Spend 30-40 minutes exploring Ethiopia’s iconic cathedral, with its beautiful European-influenced baroque architecture. See the resting place of prominent Ethiopians, including Emperor Haile Selassie and his wife. Finish your day with a calm and meaningful cultural visit.
