My son got married herem the wedding ceremony was amazing. The clergy are very kind. The cathedral is very impressive.

Take in the hill and the ambience , soak in local sights no pictures in the museum , just at the palace ..lots of history though.

Well worth the visit. Although it was only completed in the 1940's there is a lot of recent history there. The patriots graves, for those who fought against the Italians, the sarcophagi of Haile Selassie.

One of the most important land mark of Addis ababa. This is One of the Biggest new era church of the Ethiopian orthodox church. A must see place in Addis. But try to avoid visiting on crowded days.

Pictures are allowed, and don't be surprised if some priest points to the coffins... More

Need I say anything more? I had a private guided tour for $5 with a priest who serves at the Cathedral. I found it atmospheric and fascinating. The emperor's throne in particular is impressive. For Brits like me, I also enjoyed seeing the plaques honouring the British soldiers who liberated Ethiopia in WW2. For the atmosphere the best tourist attraction... More

We fell in love with St George Church, The tour Guide was very elaborate and Knowledgeable. The church was full of history, everything that was in the bible (old and new Testament) was visually there on the interior walls of the church.
