Resplan
Etiopiens nationalmuseum rymmer landets konstnärliga skatter såväl som värdefulla arkeologiska fynd som de fossiliserade resterna av tidiga hominider, av vilka den mest kända är "Lucy". Nyligen tillagd är en skärm på Selam, som uppskattas vara 3,3 miljoner år gammal, anses vara det tidigaste barnet. Museets utställningar inkluderar arkeologiska, paleoantropologiska, föremål från antika och medeltidsperioder, regalier och minnen från tidigare härskare, konstverk, en samling sekulär konst och hantverk. Museet försöker ge en överblick över den kulturella rikedomen och variationen hos folken i Etiopien. Lucy upptäcktes 1974 nära byn Hadar i Awash-dalen i Afartriangeln i Etiopien. Lucy-exemplaret är ett tidigt australopithecin och dateras till cirka 3,2 miljoner år sedan. Skelettet uppvisar en liten skalle som liknar den hos icke-homininapor, plus bevis på en gånggång som var tvåfotad och upprätt.
Etnologiska museet, Addis Abeba, i Etiopien, är en offentlig institution dedikerad till etnologi och kultur. Etnologiska museet rymmer antropologiska, musikologiska och kulturella föremål. Etnologiska museet är det första universitetsmuseet i Etiopien.[1] Museet är beläget på huvudcampuset vid Addis Abeba University som inrymmer Institutet för Etiopiska studier.
Den lokala marknaden Shiro Meda som ligger nära den amerikanska ambassaden i Addis Abeba är en av de bästa lokala marknaderna för att handla handvävda bomullskläder främst för kvinnor. Det är också känt för att köpa små presentartiklar som t-shirts, halsband, örhängen, etc. På Shiro Meda kan besökare köpa färgglada handvävda lokalt tillverkade halsdukar och klänningar för kvinnor som är gjorda av bomull och dekorerade med färgglada broderier. Här på Shiro Meda är det dags att pruta om pris.
Före nuvarande Mercato fanns det en öppen marknadsplats i Addis Abeba nära St. George Church på platsen där Stadshuset står nu, men det slutade med den italienska ockupationen på 1930-talet. Ockupanterna flyttade marknaden längre västerut till området kring Fitawrari Habte Giyorgis Dinagdes lokaler, som de döpte till Merkato Dinagde. Således grundades det nuvarande Addis Merkato av den italienska yrkesregeringens segregationspolitik. italienarna begränsade den historiska St. George Merkato till européer och döpte om den till Piazza, som innehöll butiker i europeisk stil som visade varor genom glasfönster. De mestadels arabiska hantverkarna som ägde butiker där flyttade så småningom en halv mil västerut. Med tiden fördrev lokala butiksägare de arabiska köpmännen och sedan 1960-talet har Addis Merkato haft en mestadels lokal smak. Mercato Dijino hade ingen plan och växte gradvis i bredd och bredd och tog olika kategoriska bestånd som kallas "terras".
St George's Cathedral är en ortodox katedral känd för sin distinkta åttakantiga form och ligger i norra änden av Churchill Road. Designad av Sebastiano Castagna och byggd av italienska krigsfångar besegrade vid Adwa 1896, den fick sitt namn efter St. George, efter att kyrkans ark fördes till slaget vid Adwa mot italienarna, under vilket etiopierna säkrade segern. De italienska fascistiska myndigheterna satte eld på byggnaden under kriget 1937, men katedralen restaurerades senare av kejsaren efter befrielsen 1941. Katedralen har ett museum där den visar en kejserlig tron och vapen som användes i krigen mot italienarna, inklusive böjda svärd och treuddar och jättehjälmar gjorda av lejonmanar.
Meskeltorget (amhariska: መስቀል አደባባይ, romaniserat: mesik’el ādebabay, lit. 'Cross Square') är ett offentligt torg i staden Addis Abeba, Etiopien. Det är ofta en plats för offentliga sammankomster eller för demonstrationer och festivaler, särskilt Meskelfestivalen som den har fått sitt namn från. Historia 2:05 Kejsar Haile Selassie såg jag fira fyndet av korset på Meskeltorget 1971. Tidigare var det känt som Stephen Square[1] innan dess namn ändrades till Meskel Squre i början av 1950-talet. Traditionellt tändes Meskel-brasan i Addis Abeba av Etiopiens kejsare tillsammans med medlemmar av den kejserliga familjen, adeln och höga tjänstemän från den ortodoxa kyrkan och regeringen. Brasan tändes till en början på ett torg nära den södra porten till St George's Cathedral under kejsar Menelik II och kejsarinnan Zewditus regeringstid, men flyttades till sin nuvarande plats på det specifikt konstruerade Meskeltorget av kejsar Haile Selassie
"Red Terror" Martyrs' Memorial Museum i Addis Abeba etablerades 2010 som ett minnesmärke över dem som dog under den röda terrorn under Derg-regeringen.[1][2] Museet har utställningar av tortyrinstrument, dödskallar och ben, kistor, blodiga kläder och fotografier av offer. I gratis rundturer i museet beskriver guider historien fram till den röda terrorn (med början från Haile Selassies 80-årsfirande), de åtgärder som vidtagits mot medborgare som motsatte sig Derg, hur fångarna behandlades och hur de i hemlighet kommunicerade med varandra
Det är en historisk plats där kejsar Menelik II bodde och byggde sitt palats, när han kom från Ankober och grundade Addis Abeba. Det anses vara ett heligt berg och har många kloster. Mount Entoto är också platsen för ett antal berömda kyrkor, inklusive Saint Raguel och Saint Mary.1] Berget är tätt täckt av eukalyptusträd som importerades från Australien under Menelik II:s regeringstid, och mestadels planterades under kejsar Haile Selassies regeringstid. Således kallas den ibland "Lungan i Addis Abeba". Skogen på berget är en viktig källa till ved för staden. Det var också en källa till byggnadsmaterial i äldre tider. Ethiopian Heritage Trust, en ideell, icke-statlig organisation, arbetar aktivt för att förändra en del av berget till dess gamla skick, en naturpark. Entoto naturpark är den nordöstra kanten av Addis Abeba, på de sydöstra sluttningarna av Mt. Entoto, på en yta av 1300 hektar

It sounds like you had a really smooth and memorable experience—that’s a great review already. If you’d like, I can polish it slightly while keeping your tone and details intact: We booked a 7-hour tour of Addis Ababa’s main sights with Mickey and his team on our final day in Ethiopia before flying on to Singapore. It turned out to be a fantastic way to experience the city in the afternoon and early evening. A special thank you to our excellent guide John, as well as our bus driver, who did an amazing job navigating the hectic traffic and crowds. With 11 people getting on and off the bus at various stops, their coordination made everything feel easy and well-organized. All communication before the tour and on the day itself was seamless and professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would be very happy to recommend Danakil Depression Tours to anyone visiting Ethiopia. -

Our tour in Addis Ababa was fantastic. Our guide, John, was truly exceptional. Originally from Gondar, he shared deep insights into Ethiopia’s history, culture, and politics, explaining everything in a clear and engaging way. He was very patient and never rushed us, allowing plenty of time at each stop and even helping us take great photos along the way. The entire tour was perfectly organized—we didn’t have to worry about queues for tickets or entry to any of the sites in Addis Ababa. What really stood out was John’s hospitality. After the tour, he even invited us to visit his village, which was a thoughtful and generous gesture. I highly recommend this tour with Danakil Depression Tours—it was a truly memorable experience.

I recently completed my third trip with Danakil Tours—this time to anddis—and once again, I was 100% satisfied with the service provided. Every single moment of the journey was enjoyable, perfectly organized, and executed with professionalism. What sets Danakil Tours apart, and why I keep coming back, is the incredibly high standard of care. I was traveling by myself, but the experience felt far from lonely, thanks entirely to the extraordinary Tour Manager, Mickey Mickey went above and beyond her duties. She took care of me not just as a client, but truly like her own mother, her own family. This level of personalized, genuine compassion and attentiveness is rare and deeply appreciated. She ensured I was comfortable, safe, and enjoying every aspect of the tour. The entire team at theomo valley branch was also exceptionally good and contributed to a flawless experience. Thank you so much, Danakil Tours, and a special, heartfelt thank you to addis. I am already looking forward to booking my next trip with you

Addis Ababa City Tours is the best option for Ethiopia. Danakil Depression has amazing tour packages, and this is one of the best. I'm a big fan of coffee, and we had a folkloric dinner where we were served coffee. I always bring coffee wherever I travel. So, when we explored Merkato, I had to buy locally grown coffee; I would say everyone should; it's one of a kind. Merkato was an amazing experience; it had an open-air market, interaction with locals, and locally grown products; it was truly an authentic experience
