Why visit
A closer look at Unity Park
Set within the Grand Palace grounds, Unity Park gives visitors an approachable introduction to Ethiopia's landscapes, history and cultural diversity. It works especially well at the beginning of a city visit because Amha can pair it with nearby museums, coffee or an evening meal.
