Addis Ababa highlight city tour

National Museum Of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

LIYU ETHIOPIA TOUR AND TRAVEL

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. Explore the Museum Church, a testament to Ethiopia's rich history and artistic achievements, while savoring the flavors of local cuisine and indulging in our premium coffee.



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. Its interior showcases the works of renowned Ethiopian artist Afewerk Tekle, particularly his stained-glass windows in the Africa Hall, enhancing the architectural beauty with artistic flair.

Continuing along your route, make a brief detour through Shiromeda Market, where you'll find one of the largest markets in Ethiopia selling various traditional textiles. Proceeding further up Mount Entoto, ascend to the commanding panoramic view point offering breathtaking views of the city below.

Your final destination is the famous Tomoka Coffee Stop, serving some of the finest coffee in the area. Enjoy your experience thoroughly throughout the tour.
