Addis Abbeba – Ethiopias Capital

Ethiopias capital city lies in a valley on round 2000m above sea level. From the hills around you have a nice view on the huge city. To tell you the truth I did not like the city very much. It is noisy, dirty and there are too many people. There are constructions every where. Tramways just have been finished, houses and roads are been built. But still there are lots of ruins.

There are a couple of nice museums such as the ethno museum which is the home of Lucy the first human being kind of. The university has a lush garden and there is as well a the history museum based.

Just around the corner there is Lucy again. But this time it is the name of a delicious restaurant.

The trinity church is a must see of Addis. The ethiopians are very religious so the church will always be full. When we were visiting the people were singing – it was so beautiful to hear.

Most of the tourists enter the country here in Addis international airport. As most of the flights arrive late at night or early in the morning it is very likely that you will stay for a couple of nights in the capital. I suggest two nights to explore the city.
