• Meyazia 27 Square Monument - Myazia 27 Square Monument, also known as Dillachin (Victory Monument), is a historic site featuring a Lion of Judah and a series of relief figures and monumental panels that celebrate Ethiopia’s liberation.
• National Museum of Ethiopia - Begin your Addis Ababa city tour at the National Museum of Ethiopia, renowned for its diverse and high-quality exhibits. Among the archaeological displays is the 3.5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (or Dinkinesh, meaning ‘thou art wonderful’ in the local language), an Australopithecus Afarensis hominid woman. Lucy’s 1974 discovery revolutionized our understanding of human ancestry, showing that our forebears walked the earth 2.5 million years earlier than previously thought. The museum also houses numerous artifacts from the pre-Axumite civilization.

Please note that the National Museum is closed on Mondays.
