Overview

Hi,
My name is Kenaw.
Let's go walking with me through the Addis Landmark band Monuments.
Begin MERKATO at Africa's largest open-air market, where you can explore vibrant stalls selling spices, textiles, coffee, and traditional crafts. Experience the bustling atmosphere and interact with friendly locals.

Walk to Piassa: Stroll to Piassa, the historic heart of Addis Ababa, known for its old Italian-style buildings and charming cafes. Visit landmarks like Taitu Hotel, the city's oldest hotel, and enjoy traditional Ethiopian coffee.

Head to Lagar Train Station: Continue to the iconic Lagar Railway Station, built during Ethiopia's railway expansion. Admire its classic architecture and learn about its historical significance.

Visit Monuments and Statues: End your tour by exploring nearby monuments like the Lion of Judah Statue, symbolizing Ethiopian independence, and other landmarks that showcase the city’s heritage.

This tour offers a mix of history, culture, and vibrant city life.
