Although less visually stimulating than the Ethnological Museum, the National Museum is no less thought-provoking. Its collection ranks among sub-Saharan Africa's most important. The palaeontology exhibit contains two remarkable casts of 3.2-million-year-old Lucy, a famously-fossilised upright hominid discovered in 1974. Upstairs are some celebrated Ethiopian artworks.

The Ethnological Museum is located in Emperor Haile Selassie's former palace. On the first floor you can find an exhibition of Ethiopia’s traditions from birth to death, e.g. childhood, games, rites, culture, traditional medicine and burial customs. On the second floor, you can find a thematic exhibition of traditional music instruments and listen to the music too.

Commissioned by Emperor Menelik commemorating his stunning 1896 defeat of the Italians in Adwa, the Piazza St George Cathedral was completed in 1911. The Holy of Holies' outer walls are covered in paintings and mosaics by renowned artists, like Afewerk Tekle. Also there is a museum which contains Ethiopia's best collection of ecclesiastical paraphernalia outside St Mary of Zion in Aksum.

Mount Entoto is the highest peak overlooking the city of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Mount Entoto is part of the Entoto mountain chain, reaching 3,200 meters above sea level.

Tucked up a dark cobblestone alley in eastern Piazza is this magnificent Mediterranean eatery. Peruse the creative menu, laden with succulent treats like braised lamb with caramelized onions, lentils, lemon and raisin orange couscous. There are vegetarian delights and divine desserts.

Located up the hill from the Megenagna roundabout, Top View restaurant offers a great view of Addis Ababa while you dine. A variety of food is available including Ethiopian dishes.
