Addis Ababa—a name that means 'New Flower'—is home to over 3 million people, and is certainly a city in blossom. Over the past decade, tourism rates have risen by 10 percent, a figure which is increasing every year, and it's not difficult to see why. Addis Ababa offers everything from dancing (swing, salsa, and traditional Ethiopian options available), museums, cathedrals, spacious parks, and of course, the best of local cuisine.
We recommend you try a thick slice of sourdough bread with some spicy Kifto, a marinated beef delicacy which is truly out of this world.
