Music & Arts Tour in Zanzibar City

Zanzibar City's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Zanzibar City's Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage labyrinth of coral stone alleys, sultans' palaces, and spice-scented bazaars surrounded by turquoise waters. Walking is the only way to explore this living museum of Swahili maritime culture.
