Addis Ababa is the capital and the largest city in Ethiopia: the cultural heart of the nation. It offers a spectrum of things to do—from shopping in Africa’s biggest open-air market at Mercato to savoring history at the National Archaeological Museum of Ethiopia.
Stroll through the City Center at Meskel Square, and if you’re visiting in September you can stay around for the Meskel celebration. According to the BBC, the festival commemorates the discovery of the True Cross by Empress Helena. Celebrations include rituals, theatre displays, and lighting of a large pyre.
