Home to a variety of one-of-a-kind exhibits, Peace Memorial Museum is a fascinating place to learn more about days gone by. Check if there are any guided tours available or just roam around at your own speed.

This collection of historical artifacts is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Stone Town. But Peace Memorial Museum isn't the area's only drawcard. Prison Island, Shangani Beach, and Forodhani Gardens are some other worthwhile sights close by.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (22 reviews)

Property is nice, but the area is not the best in Zanzibar. Beach is right where a working fishing village is located. Not very private at all! Property is nice, grounds are ok. Overall upkeep of the property is below expectations. We switched villas and the second one was better, but not in pristine condition. Villa layout is awkward. Bathroom is separate from the room structure and with a very peculiar design, offering very little privacy. Pricing is outrageous, at more then $1,000 a night, for a so-so experience. The bright spot is service and food, but overall this property is way way way overpriced!!

Christ Church Cathedral

4/5(45 reviews)

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

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

Jaws corner is a place where the locals gather to discuss politics and other things or just drink a cup of coffee. This corner is located somewhere in the maze like streets of Stone Town, on Zanzibar. It is a pleasure getting lost in all the tiny alleys while talking to some locals and looking at all the amazing doors and buildings.
