Addis Ababa City Tour Route
Full Day Tirp
Addis Ababa (“New flower” in amharic) is the third highest capital in the world with an altitude of 2,400 m. Founded in 1887 by Emperor Menelik II, it is also known as the capital of Africa for hosting multiple international institutions such as the African Union Commission and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Multicultural and full of authentic places, Addis is constantly growing and becoming one of the most vibrant places in Africa.
Koyeta Tours offers a full day city tour through the main attractions of Addis Ababa starting with a visit to the Entoto Mountain, where the city was first established, the Etnographic Museum, the perfect introduction to the Ethiopian culture and lifestyles, the National Museum, home to ancient fossils, the Trinity Cathedral, where Haile Selassie’s is buried and Merkato, the largest open market in Africa. We also offer half day city tours for those with limited time in the capital city.
Day Trips
City tour and sightseeing tour of Addis Ababa which includes the National Museum, Merkato, Trinity Cathedral and Enotono.
The National Museum of Ethiopia: This is one of the best museums in quality and diversity of the exhibits. Archeological exhibits include the 3.5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (or Dinkinesh – ‘thou art wonderful’- in the native language), a hominoid woman of the specious of Australopithecus Afarensis.
The discovery of Lucy’s fossil in 1974 forced a complete rethink of human genealogy, providing that our ancestors were walking 2.5 million years earlier than had been supposed. The National Museum also contains many wonderful artifacts dating back to pre-Axumite civilization.
Drive to Entoto to visit Entoto Mariam church and the commanding panoramic view point mount Entoto which offers the stupendous view of the city, afterwards visit Trinity Cathedral and Merkato, the largest open-air market in the continent.
