Ethiopia’s capital sits high in the highlands and is the starting point for most journeys through the country. It is a lively city of markets, cafés and churches, and the birthplace of the coffee ceremony tradition you will meet everywhere in Ethiopia.
At the National Museum you can see the famous early-human fossil “Lucy”. Other highlights include Holy Trinity Cathedral, the vast Merkato market and the views from the Entoto hills above the city.
