Stone Town is the historic centre of the island's largest city, Zanzibar Town, and is one of the most visited tourist attractions.

Take in the atmosphere of the narrow streets surrounded by houses built of coral reef stone and discover the many historical monuments, cathedrals and mosques.

I was most impressed by the great markets and street-food!
