Addis Ababa, December 10, 2020 (FBC) – Cntraveller.com has selected Addis Ababa as number one among places to go in 2021.

Cntraveller.com wrote that Ethiopia’s profile has risen in recent years and the introduction of an e-visa in late 2017 has made it easier to visit as the country has boosted the tourism sector by 48.6 percent.

A multifaceted museum complex, Unity Park, opened in October 2019, stretching across 40 acres of the former 19th-century Imperial Palace grounds.

Visitors can now walk alongside vibrant murals framing native plant and sculpture gardens and explore cultural pavilions showcasing Ethiopia’s ten regions, it says.

Entoto Park is described by cntraveller.com as a groundbreaking new eco-recreational and wellness space set amid 3,200-acre eucalyptus tree forests, just a 20-minute drive north of the city, activities include hiking, biking, horseback riding, archery, paintball, go kart, and Ethiopia’s first zip line.

Visiting Addis Ababa also means passing through the world’s first contactless terminal at Bole International Airport, designed with an eye toward biosafety, and exploring Ethiopia’s rich Muslim heritage at Bilal Habashi Community Museum.

“The city’s momentum is set to continue, with additional parks under way. For the first time in decades, Addis Ababa is living up to its name: New Flower.”, cntraveller.com added.
