Discover Maputo
Situated in the far south of Mozambique, Maputo is the rejuvenated capital city of the country and often the first port of call for travellers wishing to explore the many attractions of Mozambique. Emerging from its colonial history, Maputo is a combination of Portuguese style architecture, vibrant African culture, and is known as the most developed place in Mozambique, with a wide selection of hotels and restaurants, supermarkets, and cafes.
Maputo has a variety of attractions worth seeing within the city, including the bronze-domed CFM Maputo Railway Station, an expansive Municipal Market and the neoclassical City Hall. However, the city is most loved by travellers for being the gateway to Mozambique’s 1,500 miles of tropical, white sand beaches and the world-class coral reefs that accompany this creamy coastline.
