17 UNIQUE Things To Do in Stone Town // Zanzibar Travel Vlog

$40 FREE Airbnb Credit: tinyurl.com/y3nm6ghp
Stone Town, Zanzibar is a unique and enchanting travel destination, a place full of mystery and allure and yet it comes with both a dark past and enthralling history.
Almost every trip to Zanzibar will either begin or end here, so be sure to allocate a few days of your holiday in paradise to exploring the narrow alleyways, ancient buildings and colourful food markets in this vibrant city.
I ended up spending 4 days getting lost in the heart of Stone Town, on a mission to find the best food, most interesting buildings and dreamy sunset spots. Here's my guide to Stone Town, Zanzibar including 17 of the best things to do here.
List inclues:
1. Get lost
2. Stone Town Beach
3. The Old Fort
4. Forodhani Gardens Food Market
5. Prison Island
6. Admire the Zanzibar doors
7. Best sunset bars
8. Lukmaan restaurant
9. Try some Indian food
10 Go souvenir shopping
11. Visit the Darajani fish market
12. Visit the former slave market
13. Check out the old dispensary
14. Freddy Mercury’s House
15. Dhow Palace hotel
16. The old port
17. The House of Wonders

    No, I'm back in Bali now hibernating for winter haha. Wow I feel Zanzibar has changed so much. I was there in 2005 (crazy to think...on my GAP YAH!) and certain places weren't even a "thing" and now they're big tourist spots. Always have a sweet spot for Stone town and Kendra though.

It's obviously too late now, so I won't tell you that I have a friend who would have driven you around for near to nothing..... Anyway, who was your guide? Enjoy Bali xox
