Start your day by visiting the National Museum of Ethiopia, where you can see the famous fossil known as Lucy, dating back 3.2 million years. This museum is renowned for its collection of artifacts and cultural exhibits. After the museum, head to Entoto Park, a newly created park that offers a beautiful view of Addis Ababa, the capital city. You can also take a walk through the eucalyptus forest in the park, which provides a pleasant experience.

After enjoying the stunning view from Entoto Hill, return to the city for a lunch break. You can have lunch at Addis Ababa Cultural Restaurant, which is the first restaurant in Ethiopia.

In the afternoon, continue your exploration by visiting Paizza Saint George's Cathedral.
