Best of Addis Ababa: Coffee Ceremony, Lucy, & Authentic Tour

Despre activitate

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.

We’ll also take a walk through Mercato. It’s a bit of a maze, but that’s the fun of it, you will see the city’s real energy. Along the way, we’ll hit the landmarks like St. George’s Cathedral and the old palace to give you the backstories that make this place so unique.

A few things to make your life easier:

The Logistics: We’ll grab you from your hotel or the airport and drop you back off when we're finished.

The Coffee: You aren't leaving without a proper coffee ceremony. It’s the law of the land here.

    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.
