Stone Town History & Market Walk

Stone Town’s showpiece of its grandiose waterfront, a series of monumental buildings between the port and Shangani in the southwest. In Stone Town, it is best to take a guide to show you the historical buildings, small pathways in the souk-like labyrinth streets of central Stone Town – it’s a bewildering warren of narrow alleyways and dead-ends, decaying mansions and colourful shops, an architectural trove, hugely photogenic, and very much lived in, which just adds to its charm and the enticing Darajani Market is a treasure trove of delightful spices, flavored aromatic teas, cashews “korosho” and other specials.
