1. Askari Monument
This bronze statue was erected by the British in 1927 in memory of African troops who died during World War I; the word askari means "soldier" in Swahili. It stands on the site of a monument erected by Germany to celebrate its victory here in 1888. That monument stood only five years before being demolished in 1916.

2. Botanical Gardens
If you are heading to the National Museum it's well worth a quiet stroll through the indigenous plants in the botanical gardens. It provides respite from the city underneath purple bougainvilleas and blue jacarandas.

3. Kivukoni Fish Market
If you are feeling brave and interested in experiencing Dar's fish market at its nosiest and fishiest then wake up early and head down to Kivukoni. There is no charge to walk around. Be prepared for quite a smell, but the sight of hundreds of weathered fishermen hauling in their catch and the thrumming sounds of commerce—bargaining and haggling, prepping the seafood—is a fun experience. Please don't purchase any of the seashells or turtle products on sale. If you prefer to be accompanied by a guide, take part in a city tour, which will include a stop at the market.

4. Tanzania National Museum and House of Culture
Apart from the Leakey fossil discoveries, which are some of the most important in the world, there are galleries that detail the history of Tanzania from occupation to independence. A contemporary art gallery and pleasant outdoor exhibits of an iron dinosaur, past presidential cars and a tribute to the US embassy bombing makes for a good morning outing. This is also a spot to learn about Tanzania's tribal heritage and the impact of the slave trade.
