Getting around
There’s an extensive network of blue-and-white minibuses servicing Addis that is efficient and cheap. Stopping at most major intersections, journeys cost from Birr0.55 to Birr1.25.
Taxis are also everywhere. Journeys up to 3km usually cost Birr20 (more at night), while medium/long journeys cost Birr30/50. If you share, the normal fare is split between passengers.
Bole International Airport, located just 5km southeast of the city centre, is regularly served by both taxis (Birr25 to Birr50) and minibuses.
NTO (0115 151722; Hilton Hotel, Menelik II Ave) offers airport pick-ups and drop-offs in a Mercedes-Benz for a reasonable Birr44 (Birr55 after midnight).
