Description
Stone Town, the heart of Zanzibar. Get ready for a fascinating journey through Stone Town, Zanzibar, where you'll discover the city's geography, history, architecture and culture. As you walk through its narrow streets, you'll find more than 2,000 limestone buildings. These streets cover an area equivalent to 14 football fields, and about 18,000 people live in its neighborhoods. Stone Town is a true melting pot of cultures, blending African, Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences. Thanks to its unique character, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
A melting pot of cultures:
Zanzibar and Stone Town are like a wonderful mix of cultures. During your adventure, you will visit places such as the Anglican cathedral (formerly a slave market), the House of Wonders (now a national museum under renovation), the Palace Museum, the Old Fort, Darajani Market, the Catholic cathedral, Jaws Corner, the house of Freddie Mercury, as well as the bustling streets, the lively market where you can have coffee, and the magnificent gates of Zanzibar. You will understand why Stone Town deserves to be considered a World Heritage Site. Don't forget to explore the shopping area of the bazaar, where locals do their daily shopping, as well as a colorful market street.
