The World Heritage Site of Stone Town is historically, culturally and architecturally Zanzibar’s most important town.
Stone Town is a place to absorb Zanzibar’s culture and while away some time wandering through the narrow labyrinthine streets and alleyways or simply people watching from a street front café.
Narrow lanes snake between over 2,000 buildings, many with brass-studded doors set within elaborately carved doorframes.
Many visitors take a day trip to Stone Town but a night or two here offers the chance to absorb the atmosphere and attractions at a more leisurely pace.
