Tour Plan
Start at the square where the food stalls are placed in the evening. This is one of the central points in Stone Town and the point where we had our tour guide walking up to us, in case you decide to continue the tour with some guidance instead of by yourself 😉
The House of Wonders is one of the most prominent buildings in Stone Town. The house did host the Museum of History, however, the building is closed because of disrepair. This also means you shouldn’t expect too much, as it is severely broken down.
The most local part of the walk! You’ll exit the maze and walk into a local market where they sell fruit, veggies and of course: spices. They will try to sell you spices for touristy prices, but else, just soak it in and enjoy the experience.
Have a quick peek at the fish market. Be warned: it SMELLS. I don’t know if you will like fish better after your visit, but it is an experience for sure.
Close to the market, you’ll find the slave chambers, that zoom in on the horrible history. Visiting the slave chambers gives you an impression of how the slaves were kept.
Lastly, enter the old fort. The oldest building of Stone Town and seen as a massive tourist attraction. It is now seen as a cultural centre and you’ll find several tourist stalls.
