Itinerario
La Cattedrale della Santissima Trinità, conosciuta anche in amarico come Kidist Selassie, è la cattedrale etiope ortodossa di Tewahedo di rango più alto ad Addis Abeba, in Etiopia. Fu costruito nel 1942 per commemorare la vittoria etiope sull'occupazione italiana ed è un importante luogo di culto in Etiopia. All'interno della cattedrale si trovano le tombe dell'imperatore Haile Selassie e dell'imperatrice Menen Asfaw, nonché di altri membri della famiglia imperiale.
Situato in zona Piazza, Tomoca è il più antico coffee shop in Etiopia (dal 1953). La cerimonia tradizionale del caffè etiope è uno dei rituali culturali più iconici e amati in Etiopia.
Mercato è il più grande mercato a cielo aperto in Africa, coprendo diverse miglia quadrate e impiegando circa 13.000 persone in 7.100 entità commerciali suddivise in zone organizzate (prodotti agricoli, incensi, caffè, spezie, gioielli, riciclaggio, cesti, ceramiche, pelletteria, metalli)
Pranzo nell'albergo più antico di Addis. L'Hotel Taitu fu costruito nel 1905 (1898 nel calendario etiope) nel centro della città (Piazza), da Taitu Betul (1851–1918), l'imperatrice etiope e moglie dell'imperatore Menelik II, per offrire un posto agli ospiti stranieri per riposare e cenare. Sono possibili posti alternativi per il pranzo. Il pranzo non è incluso nel prezzo del tour.
Il museo è diviso in tre sezioni. Nei sotterranei, la mostra paleontologica custodisce molti preziosi reperti archeologici locali come i resti fossili dei primi ominidi, il più famoso dei quali è "Lucy". La collezione è classificata tra le più importanti dell'Africa subsahariana. Al piano terra sono esposti reperti di epoca aksumita, pre-aksumita, salomonica e gonderiana. Al primo piano, c'è una vivida esposizione di arte etiope che va dalla pergamena dell'inizio del XIV secolo fino alla pittura a olio su tela del XX secolo.
Il Museo Etnologico è un'istituzione pubblica dedicata all'etnologia e alla cultura. Situato all'interno dell'ex palazzo di Haile Selassie e circondato dagli splendidi giardini e dalle fontane del campus principale dell'università, il Museo Etnologico ospita oggetti antropologici, musicologici e culturali.
Situato a 3400 metri di altitudine, il parco naturale di Entoto era dove si trovava il campo e il palazzo permanente dell'ex imperatore Minilik II. Dall'alto si gode di una vista panoramica sulla capitale e sulla campagna circostante. La montagna è densamente ricoperta da alberi di eucalipto importati dall'Australia durante il regno di Menelik II, e per lo più piantati durante il regno dell'imperatore Haile Selassie. Così, a volte è indicato come il "polmone di Addis Abeba".
Il mercato di Shiro Meda (scritto anche "Chiromeda") vende tessuti etiopi in tutte le loro forme, dagli abiti da sposa etiopi a vari tipi di abbigliamento, biancheria e tessuti.

Alex was absolutely an amazing guide. He has so many stories to tell and he has incredible knowledge of Ethiopian history. You will enjoy Addis Ababa in depth on this trip. It is very well balanced with a little bit of everything seeing the real unfiltered version of Addis Ababa. I had a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it.
We enjoyed our tour with Alex and Alum. Alex is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Ethiopia. The visit to Mercato and to the pottery were for me the highlights of the tour. Alum is a very good driver. We felt very safe, while driving and while walking. We’re leaving Ethiopia with some very nice memories.

Excellent overview of the city in a short period of time. Alex helped us feel safe while also enabling us to experience the Merketo in all its glory. The visit to where Ethiopian mothers make pottery was educational and uplifting. A visit to the museum to see Lucy finished off a great day. Highly recommend.

A Deeply Soul-Stirring Journey Through the Heart of Addis Ababa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for a travel experience that reaches beyond sightseeing and settles somewhere deep in your spirit, Addis Ababa delivers in ways I did not fully anticipate. This city is layered, alive, and unapologetically rich in history, faith, and artistry, and I left feeling genuinely transformed. Our day opened at Holy Trinity Cathedral, known in Amharic as Kidist Selassie, the highest ranking Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo cathedral in all of Addis Ababa. Standing inside those walls, surrounded by centuries of devotion, vivid iconography, and a reverence that commands stillness, you feel the full weight of a civilization that has kept its faith unbroken for millennia. This was the spiritual anchor of the entire day. From there, we stepped into history at Tomoca Coffee in the Piazza area, the oldest coffee shop in Ethiopia, open since 1953. The traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony is iconic for good reason. It is ritual, community, and flavor all in one cup, and experiencing it here felt like the most authentic possible introduction to Ethiopian culture. Mercato Market came next, and nothing quite prepares you for the scale of it. The largest open-air market in Africa, covering several square miles and supporting an estimated 13,000 people across thousands of business entities, Mercato is organized chaos in the most magnificent way. The energy, the color, the commerce, and the craftsmanship on display were absolutely electric. This is also where the women’s pottery cooperative left its mark on me. Watching these artisans shape clay into vessels of extraordinary beauty using techniques passed down across generations was quietly profound. They are not simply craftswomen; they are living keepers of cultural memory. I purchased pieces I will treasure forever. Lunch at the Taitu Hotel in Piazza was a highlight in its own right. Built in 1905, it is the oldest hotel in Addis Ababa, commissioned by Empress Taitu Betul herself. Sitting down to a spread of injera, stews, and spiced lentils in that historic dining room felt like eating inside a chapter of Ethiopian history. Every bite told a story. The afternoon brought us to the National Museum of Ethiopia, where the paleontological collections in the basement alone are worth the entire trip. Being in the presence of some of the most significant archaeological finds on the continent puts human existence into breathtaking perspective. We then moved through the Ethnological Museum, which added yet another layer of cultural depth and rounded out the day beautifully. Our tour guides and drivers were nothing short of exceptional throughout every stop. Warm, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history of their country, they elevated every moment of the itinerary. Their knowledge was deep, their storytelling was engaging, and their hospitality made us feel welcomed rather than simply toured. Addis Ababa is not a city you simply visit. It is a city that marks you. Go with an open heart, comfortable shoes, and an appetite for both food and history, and it will give you far more than you ever expected.
