The place

Why this destination belongs in the story.

Stone Town is best experienced slowly. Walk the old streets, notice the architecture and carved doors, visit markets and waterfront spaces, and use local food and cultural experiences to understand the island beyond the beach.

Make time for the old city

A night or two in Stone Town can create a strong beginning or ending to a Zanzibar stay.
