Does Zanzibar City suit your holiday?
Zanzibar City, with Stone Town as the main area for visitors, is best for those who want culture, food, markets and history before or after their beach stay. This is more a city and experience base than a beach holiday, with narrow streets, local markets and a short distance to the harbor front. For families and beach customers, the town works best as a short stop combined with a quieter coastal hotel.
