For Italian citizens, a passport with at least six months remaining validity and at least one free page is required. An entry visa is required and the visa application must be made online by accessing the "Tanzania Service Immigration Department" website https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa/. Alternatively, you can apply upon arrival at the airport in Tanzania (approximate cost Usd 50, cash payment recommended).

The direct flight has a duration of about 8h.
You have to calculate two hours more than in Itala, one with daylight saving time.
The unit of currency is the Tanzanian Shilling, divided into 100 cents, 1 Euro is worth about 2500 Shillings. The Euro is accepted almost everywhere but in some cases it may be cheaper to pay in U.S. Dollars. We point out, however, that banknotes issued before 2006 are not accepted by banks, hotels, and public places.
Zanzibar enjoys excellent temperatures all year round except from April to July because of heavy rains.
All of Zanzibar's beaches, protected by coral reefs, are subject to the tidal phenomenon every 6 hours. The sea recedes causing a very long expanse of sand to emerge from which submerged beaches emerge, which you can discover by taking very long walks equipped with rubber shoes. Occasionally, due to sea currents, there may be seaweed on the beach, a natural phenomenon that resolves spontaneously.
Zanzibar offers an interesting variety of local handicrafts and antiques such as the famous wood-carved doors and chests; antique padlocks; "khangas," printed cotton sarongs; tinga-tinga, typical Tanzanian naif paintings; wood and soapstone carvings; sisal baskets; ebony carvings; and masks.
Zanzibar, known as the island of spices, offers spices of all kinds and for all tastes.
We also suggest Pemba honey, aromatic oils and vinegars, sandalwood powder excellent for cleansing the face, and traditional udi, a blend of aromas used by local women to perfume their clothes and bodies.
Famous are the traditional Zanzibarian trunks of Omani origin and the typical grandfather clocks, dating from the late 19th century, which should be sought exclusively in antique stores in the capital. Among the precious stones: rubies and tanzanite, a little-known stone found only in Tanzania. For those looking for an original souvenir, the characteristic and very ancient game of bao is recommended.
