Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Addis Ababa Airport (ADD) to Holy Trinity Cathedral takes about 10 min by car on an empty road (10–20 min in heavy traffic) over 8 km. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 1 for domestic flights), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, called Kidist Selassie in Amharic, is the most important Ethiopian Orthodox cathedral in the capital. It was built in the 1940s to mark the end of the Italian occupation and stands near Arat Kilo, beside the Parliament building. From the airport the route follows Bole Road to Meskel Square and then heads north past the grounds of the National Palace and Unity Park, a drive of about 8 km through central streets that are busy during weekday rush hours.
Emperor Haile Selassie and Empress Menen are buried inside the cathedral, and the churchyard holds the graves of patriots who fought the occupation as well as that of the British campaigner Sylvia Pankhurst. Visitors are expected to dress modestly and to remove their shoes inside. The National Museum of Ethiopia, home to the fossil skeleton known as Lucy, is about a kilometre to the north, and the Ethnological Museum in Haile Selassie's former palace lies on the Addis Ababa University campus at Sidist Kilo.
Public transport: The airport's published information lists no scheduled public bus or rail service to the terminals, and the Addis Ababa Light Rail has no station at the airport.
