Descrizione
Explore Addis Ababa's Piassa neighborhood on a walking tour. Learn about the 1936 Italian occupation, see colonial-era buildings, and end with a traditional coffee ceremony.
Step off the beaten path and discover a side of Addis Ababa that most visitors never see. This immersive walking tour takes you through Piassa, the city's oldest and most layered neighborhood, where Fascist-era Italian architecture stands alongside Ethiopian Orthodox churches and century-old merchant quarters.
Your expert local guide will bring to life the dramatic story of the 1936 Italian occupation: the grand boulevards Mussolini's engineers carved through the city, the resistance fighters who fought back, and how Ethiopians ultimately reclaimed their independence. See bullet-scarred walls, colonial-era post offices and banks still in daily use, and hidden courtyards rarely found in guidebooks.
This tour combines history, architecture, and authentic street life into an unforgettable 4–5 hour walk. End the experience with a traditional coffee ceremony at a local café, toasting to Ethiopia's resilience.
