Popular places to visit

House of Wonders

See one of the early buildings of Zanzibar’s modern development, with wide verandas overlooking the ocean and relics from the late 1800s.

Anglican Cathedral showing heritage elements

Christ Church Cathedral

Admire the coral stone design and see the museum and memorial of this church that was built to celebrate the end of slavery.

Old Fort

Browse the stalls of the courtyard market and attend festivals in the amphitheater in the oldest site in the historic center.

Forodhani Gardens

Relax in this scenic tree-filled oceanside park that transforms into a lively and busy seafood market after the sun goes down.

Slave Market

An Anglican cathedral now stands on this site where slaves once suffered before being sold into harsh servitude.

The Darajani Baazari gathers the most impressive non-beach features of Zanzibar. It is still the place where locals buy groceries and thus present much of their way of living. As unsanitary as it looks, the market is full of fishes and meat conserved far from any Western hygiene standard and makes tourists hope restaurants acquire their products elsewhere. It is usual to face scenes like the one in this photograph. #market #colorful
