I recently moved back to dar, many of my close friends aren't here anymore so I have mostly been a homebody. I decided that this year I would go out more and be more adventurous but it seems this city doesn't have much to offer. Maybe I don't know where to look but seems all there is to do is going out to eat and drink. Before I moved I would go out for walks, go to the park, galleries, live theater, workshops Could anyone suggest were I can find such activities here?

Ok other than the too much diversity in restaurants there are Padel courts, beach at islands (bagamoyo) or art and reading clubs

Check out Nafasi Art Space and Alliance Francaise. They both offer a very wide range of cultural activities and most of them are free of charge.
