Addis Ababa City - Half Day Tour

Start any time of the day 5 up to 6 hours tour in the city of Addis Ababa. Monuments, streets and squares of Addis Ababa, with a visit to the National Museum and Holy trinity church.

1. 1

   Holy Trinity Cathedral

   1.3 hours

   This massive and ornate cathedral is the second-most important place of worship in Ethiopia (ranking behind the Old Church of St Mary of Zion in Aksum). It’s also the celebrated final resting place of Emperor Haile Selassie and his wife Empress Menen Asfaw. Their massive Aksumite-style granite tombs sit inside and are a sight indeed. The solemnity of the interior design contrasts sharply with highly the charged emotions of many pilgrims. It's a fascinating place.

2. 2

   National Museum of Ethiopia

   1.5 hours

   The collection on show at the National Museum is ranked among the most important in sub-Saharan Africa. It is the home of world-famous Lucy. Her 1974 discovery in the Afar region of northwestern Ethiopia changed our understanding of human origins forever.

3. 3

   Stop 3

   40 min

   Ahh, if only all cafes were like this! Coffee is serious business at this great high-stooled Italian cafe (around since 1953) in Piazza. The beans are roasted on-site (you can literally smell them from a block away) and Tomoca serves some of the capital’s best coffee. Beans are also sold by the half-kilo and there's an Ethiopian coffee map on the wall.
