The highlights of a holiday to Maputo Mozambique

  • The old town is in the centre of the city where it all happens while new developments now sprawl along the seaside attracting people to a slower beachy pace.  
  • Wander around the streets to photograph the shabby but graceful colonial buildings such as the city’s main train station, Maputo’s 20th-century Praca dos Trabalhadores, the wrought iron lattice work designed by the same architect who designed the Eiffel Tower in France, Gustav Eiffel.
  • Art is part of the culture in Maputo so visit the National Art Gallery and the Natural History Museum.
  • The municipal market is a fascinating sensory experience of smells, sights, sounds, textures and tastes. Buy some fresh tropical fruits, roasted nuts, spices and cloths. 
  • Buy cooked prawns or chicken peri-peri from street vendors and eat it with fresh Portuguese breads. 
  • Pop into local cafes and bars to hear the local music and sample the local beers.
