Addis Ababa

Despite being a large and bustling city, Addis Ababa has a lot to offer for visitors passing through. Addis Ababa, meaning “new flower” in Amharic, is the third highest capital city in the world.

When to go

J F M A M J J A S O N D

The air is cool and the Jacaranda lined avenues and surrounding Entoto mountains make it a rather attractive city. There are also a number of attractions in the area including churches, markets, museums and shops.

The National Museum is a particular highlight as it houses the 3.2 million year old hominid skeleton of Lucy.

There are a range places to stay available in Addis Ababa and something to suit all travellers. It boasts a number of good restaurants and coffee shops too, and this is an excellent place to enjoy an authentic Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

I loved vibrant Addis Ababa with its colourful markets. It’s also a coffee-lover’s paradise with coffee shops on almost every street corner selling the richest and freshest Ethiopian coffee you can get. A great way to start a day of sightseeing!
