The eucalyptus-covered ridge rising to about 3,200 meters directly above Addis Ababa, where Emperor Menelik II first established his capital. The hilltop holds his modest palace, the octagonal Entoto Maryam Church, and a landscaped park with trails and cafes. Runners train on its thin-air paths, and the city panorama is best in late afternoon.
