Experience Addis Ababa as an international traveler, immersing yourself in its vibrant culture, bustling markets, historical landmarks, and rich culinary traditions. Discover the city's unique blend of African heritage and modernity at the largest open-air market in Africa, where you can immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of Addis Ababa.

Starting the tour from the National Museum of Ethiopia, this museum boasts an exceptional collection of high-quality and diverse exhibits. Among its highlights are the 3.5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (also known as Dinkinesh - meaning "wonderful" in the local language), representing a significant find in understanding human evolution. The discovery of Lucy's fossil in 1974 prompted a reevaluation of the timeline of human origins, placing early hominids' ability to walk upright approximately 2.5 million years before what was previously thought possible.
Following the exploration of the National Museum, proceed to St. George's Cathedral located at the northern end of Churchill Road. Constructed in 1896, the cathedral features a unique octagonal design inspired by Ethiopia's victory over Italy during the Battle of Adwa.
