Begin your journey at the National Museum of Ethiopia, a leading institution in terms of the quality and variety of its displays. Archaeological exhibits, like the 3.5 million-year-old Lucy fossil (also called Dinkinesh - ‘amazing’ in the local language), are presented here.

Following this, explore Trinity Cathedral, the second most significant place for worship in Ethiopia. This grand and intricate cathedral proudly harbors the tombs of Emperor Haile Selassie and Empress Menen Asfaw, sculpted in the massive Aksumite-style granite, which are a spectacle in and of their own.

Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant.

Post lunch, head to Merkato, acknowledged as the biggest open-air market in Africa. Here, your guide will lead you through a delightful walking tour of the market.

Lastly, you’ll be taken to Entoto, where on the way you will stop by at Shiromeda market - renowned for selling traditional Ethiopian clothes. Continue your drive to Mount Entoto for a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.
