Addis Ababa Travel Diary 🇪🇹 | A Week in Ethiopia’s Capital
📍 "Where history whispers from university halls and church pews." 🏨 Accommodation Tips: Luxury: Hilton/Sheraton Mid-range: Tanda Hotel Budget (solo-safe): Taitu Hotel (skip cheaper options for security) 🌧️ Slow Travel Highlights: 1️⃣ Addis Ababa University Green oasis—perfect for drizzly walks ☔ Museum: Card-only tickets (staff helped me buy one!) 2️⃣ Holy Trinity Cathedral ⛪ 1500 ETB (entry + English guide) Weird flex: Touching Emperor Haile Selassie’s coffin 🤷♀️ Museum inside: No photos allowed! 3️⃣ Mercato Market 🛍️ Chaotic but colorful (guide recommended: 2000 ETB/hour) Pro tip: Haggle hard—or shop at souvenir centers (same price, safer) 4️⃣ National Library 📚 Free entry (security check at door) Books in English, Korean, Amharic… 5️⃣ Missed Lucy Museum 😢 Closed for renovation (next time!) ⚠️ Safety Notes: Avoid phone-snatching spots (hence few photos) Skip parks (unless you really love grass) #EthiopiaTravel #SoloTravel #AddisAbaba #SlowTravel 🐢
