Hour 1: National Museum of Ethiopia

Travel note: Already central; no drive needed.
Hour 2: Drive to Merkato + Explore Merkacto Open Market
Drive 15 minutes to Merkato, Addis's massive open-air market. Wander alleys for 40 minutes amid spices, textiles, crafts, and vendors. Haggle for souvenirs like coffee or scarves while soaking in the vibrant chaos. Grab a quick coffee or street snack.
Why here next: Short hop from the museum; builds energy with sensory buzz.
Hours 3–4: Holy Trinity Cathedral + Drive to Entoto

Then drive 30 minutes uphill to Entoto Mountain. Use the remaining time en route for a break or chat with your driver about local history.
Hour 5: Entoto Mountain
Arrive at Entoto for panoramic city views, pine forests, and fresh air. Spend 45–50 minutes at Entoto Maryam Church (admire traditional art and history), plus short trail walks and photos. End with vistas overlooking the city you just toured. Drive back to center (~30 minutes, not in tour time).
Why last: Higher elevation refreshes after urban bustle; scenic finale.
This sequence covers all sites efficiently (urban core first, then elevation), blending culture, history, nature, and markets. Total walking: moderate (~2–3 km).
Drive back foe a drop off.
