Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Holy Trinity Cathedral, Aratkilo area Addis, Addis Ababa 0000 EthiopiaThis 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.

Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes

Stop At: National Museum of Ethiopia, King George VI Street, Addis Ababa Ethiopia

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.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Tomoca Coffee | Atlas Branch | ቶሞካ ቡና | አትላስ, 2Q4P+QFJ Medhane Alem Building, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

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.

Duration: 40 minutes
