Addis Ababa, founded in 1886, is the capital city of Ethiopia and the business, financial and cultural center of the Country. It is also the seat of African Union and numerous other international organizations (the 3rd largest diplomatic center in the world, behind New York City and Geneva, with many embassies and missions). It is often called the "African Capital" due to its historical, diplomatic, and political significance for the continent. The City is located in the geographic center of the Country.
Addis Ababa has an estimated population of about 8 million. Addis has more than enough history and sites to warrant more than just a stopover.
