Historic City Tour of Addis Ababa with Mount Entoto & Mercato
What your day looks like
Addis Ababa is not like other African cities, as Ethiopia has never been colonized. It is an indigenous African city established by the famous Emperor Menelik II in 1887. This tour can be customized according to your needs and the places you want to visit. Below, we highlight the best possible attractions to visit. A trip to Mount Entoto will give you a magnificent panoramic view of the city. Entoto was the capital of Ethiopia before 1896. Descending from Mount Entoto and passing through Shiromeda, the largest traditional clothing market, we will stop at the National Museum to visit our human ancestor, Lucy, the hominid fossil of 3.2 million years old, the 3.3 million-year-old Selam fossil, and the 4.4 million-year-old Ardi fossil. On the way, we will visit Yekatit 12. Later, we will visit one of the largest markets in Africa. There is nothing like Mercato for any Ethiopian. It is really big and you can find anything in the market.
