Ambassador Park: A Green Oasis in the Heart of Addis Ababa

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the center of Addis Ababa, head towards Meskel Square, a well-known landmark. From Meskel Square, walk east along Ras Bitwaddad Tesemma Street. Continue straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Africa Avenue (Bole Road). Cross Africa Avenue carefully and continue walking straight on Jomo Kenyatta Avenue. Keep walking until you reach the entrance of Ambassador Park, which will be on your left.

• Walking

  If you are near the National Museum of Ethiopia, exit the museum and head west towards King George VI Street. Walk straight for about 1 kilometer until you reach the junction with Bole Road. Turn left onto Bole Road and continue walking for approximately 1.5 kilometers. You will then see Ambassador Park on your right side.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From anywhere in Addis Ababa, locate a minibus (also known as a 'blue taxi') heading towards Lideta. Board the minibus and request the driver to drop you off at the Lideta area. Once you get off, walk southeast on Lideta Street for about 10 minutes until you reach Ambassador Park, which is located at the intersection of Lideta Street and Jomo Kenyatta Avenue.

• Walking

  If you are at the Ethiopian National Theatre, exit the theatre and walk south towards Menelik II Square. Once at the square, head east along Emperor Menelik II Avenue for about 1 kilometer. At the intersection with Jomo Kenyatta Avenue, turn left. Continue walking until you arrive at Ambassador Park on your left.
