Set high in the central highlands, Addis Ababa is one of Africa's highest capitals and the seat of the African Union. Its National Museum houses Lucy, one of the most famous early human fossils ever found, while sprawling Merkato ranks among the continent's largest open-air markets. The city's coffee houses, churches, and lively music scene make it a fitting gateway to the rest of the country.
