The capital and largest city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa is a bustling, multicultural metropolis and historic center. You'll overhear conversations in as many as 80 languages from the moment you disembark from any flights to Addis Ababa—enjoy the sounds and begin to absorb the culture.

Car rentals in Addis Ababa may be available in the urban center, but you'll have to first hire a local taxi to get you there.

For a moving experience of a different kind, visit the octagon-shaped St. George cathedral and museum. Grey, unassuming stone church exteriors give way to bursting interior color schemes, and the nearby museum has an interesting assortment of artifacts.
