Addis Abada is the capital of Ethiopia, and a lively and beautiful metropolis. The city offers breathtaking views, wooded hillsides, distinctive architecture, world-class museums, and exotic cuisine! Spend an afternoon admiring the artifacts on display at the National Museum, especially the museum’s main attraction, the 3.5 million year old fossilized skeleton of the early hominid, Lucy. Pay a visit to St. George’s Cathedral, dedicated to the national saint of Ethiopia. Visit the museum and its wide collection of paintings, historic books, parchments, and beautiful handicrafts. Don’t miss the impressive Trinity Cathedral, built in memory of Ethiopia’s liberation from Italy. Don't forget to put Merkato, the largest outdoor market in the world, on your itinerary! Buy gifts and mementos for your loved ones back home. There are so many authentic restaurants, bars and nightclubs to visit, too. |
