When you land in Addis Ababa, it can feel like a lot to take in all at once. We built this tour to show you the version of the city we love the best coffee, the most vibrant markets, and the quietest views.
The plan for the day: We’ll start with a bit of a "time travel" session at the National Museum to meet Lucy fossils dating back 3.2 million years, then head straight up to the Entoto Hills. It’s the best way to see the whole city laid out under the eucalyptus trees.

IF YOU ONLY VISIT ONE CATHEDRAL, MAKE IT THIS ONE!

Hidden Stories: Discover the grave of Sylvia Pankhurst, a British activist who moved to Ethiopia and became part of its story. Few travelers expect this connection.
When you walk inside, you’ll be surrounded by massive stained-glass windows and royal tombs that feel more like a palace.

Café Tomoca
You can’t say you’ve been to Addis until you’ve stood for a coffee at the original Tomoca in Piassa.
Established in 1953, It’s a tiny, old school spot with wood paneled walls and vintage Italian machines that look like they belong in a museum.
The original Tomoca Coffee in Piassa is an iconic landmark!The moment you walk through the door, the smell of dark roasted beans hits you they’re roasting them right there behind the counter just like they have since the 50s.
There are no chairs, so just squeeze in, order a macchiato, and stand at the tall tables with the locals. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s the best caffeine kick in the city.
