Stroll Around Stone Town
Top 9 in Top 10 Best Things to Do in Tanzania
Exploring the crisscrossing streets of Stone Town surrounded by colonial buildings is probably one of the highlights of visiting Tanzania. Due to its rich history as the spice capital of East Africa during the days, you will find all kinds of foreign influences in Stone Town that you wouldn't find anywhere else in the country.
From one corner, you might find a little Arab/Persian influence and from another, a bit of Portuguese/British influences as well as some Indians all scattered throughout Stone Town, waiting for you to explore. An entire town is all crammed into a small area where you will be able to navigate through these narrow pathways connecting and sometimes even hiding all sorts of hidden gems in plain sight like the 17th Century Old Fort built by the Omani Arabs, St Joseph's Cathedral, a catholic church built by the French-based on that of the Marseille Cathedral in France, and many more.
