The Uganda Museum: A display of Uganda's cultural heritage, where one can see ethnological and natural-historical exhibitions. It is a vivid reminder of the country's colourful past. The Uganda Museum (founded in 1908) in Kampala has exhibits of traditional culture, archaeology, history, science, and natural history. It regularly presents performances of traditional music. One of its most interesting features is the collection of traditional musical instruments, which anyone is free to play. The National Museum of Uganda is located in Kampala, the capital of the country. The museum contains rich materials from Uganda and is a must-see. The Uganda Society’s library is housed in one room of the Uganda National Museum. Started in the 1930s by a group of scholars, the collection is comprised of approximately 3,000 volumes, maps, periodicals and photographs, all pertaining to African history, culture, sociology, travel and science. In addition to its collection, the library houses the books of the East African Wildlife Society and a number of books from the museum which were given to the society’s care some years ago. Although the library was a circulating library for many years, due to the limited availability of the books and their value, the collection is currently available for reference use only.

Kasubi Tombs is where fallen kings of Buganda Kingdom are buried. The Tombs of Buganda Kings at Kasubi constitute a site embracing the hillside within Kampala district. At its core on the hilltop is the former palace of the Kabakas of Buganda, built-in 1882 and converted into the royal burial ground in 1884. Four royal tombs now lie within the Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, the main building, which is circular and surmounted by a dome. It is a major example of an architectural achievement in organic materials, principally wood, thatch, reed, wattle and daub. The site's main significance lies, however, in its intangible values of belief, spirituality, continuity and identity.

Nakasero Market: At the noon of Saturday, January 1895, the right Reverand Mckay advised the then Kabaka of Buganda to establish the first market in the Lubiri (Palace). In 1905, the market moved to Kabugube and this was a temporary structure. Here you can find a variety of huge variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, mostly indigenous to Uganda. Across the street is a flower market, full of spices, legumes, grains, and hand-made household items. This market is surrounded by a number of shops or Dukas, where you find everything for the home. Hardware, sanitary-ware and electrical shops surround the area.

Owino Market is one of the largest in this region of Africa. The endless booths that line the chaotic alleys of Owino offer a mind-boggling array of everything from homemade irons, to American hand-me-down-clothes with the Goodwill price tags still on then, to an amazing array of African foods, to any and everything else under the sun. Everything at Owinio starts cheap and gets cheaper with bargaining. If interested in a market for souvenirs, check out the craft market on Buganda Road or the slightly larger crafts market behind the national theatre near the Garden City complex. Also on Buganda Road across the street from the craft market, find a number of tailors if you are looking to have clothes sewn. And if tired from shopping the (upscale) 1000 Cups of Coffee Cafe is a relaxing Mzungu hangout.

Rubaga Hill taken-up by the Roman Catholics (and the first roman catholic church here): Rubaga Hill was the location of the main palace of Kabaka Muteesa I who ruled Buganda between 1856 and 1884. The palace was struck by lightning and was rebuilt on neighbouring Mengo Hill. The first Roman Catholic missionaries to arrive in Buganda were Frenchmen, Father Pierre Lourdel Monpel and Brother Amans, who settled near the hill in 1879. As the Catholic Church took root in the country, the missionaries were allocated land on Lubaga Hill. The construction of St. Mary's Cathedral on Lubaga Hill took place between 1914 and 1925, with the assistance of monetary contributions from Roman Catholic congregations abroad. Later, the missionaries also built a hospital and a nursing school on the hill. Today, Lubaga remains the seat of the headquarters of the Catholic Church in Uganda. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala. The remains of the first African Catholic bishop in Uganda, Bishop Joseph Nakabaale Kiwanuka and those of the first.
