History Museums
The Fortress of Maputo, a historic gem dating back to the early 18th century, stands as a testament to Mozambique's rich military history. Originally constructed by Portuguese colonists in 1787 for defense purposes, this impressive structure has transformed into a captivating museum that draws visitors from all over. Within its walls, you can explore the remnants of Ngungunhane, the last emperor of Gaza—a poignant reminder of pre-colonial times before Portuguese dominance.
Interesting place to explore. Especially if you’re into History.

For 50 MT you can have a very quick visit to this place. Not that big though.
I liked the view to the main street from above the walls.
Also some interesting history behind each piece. You get to know part of the colonial history of Maputo.
Do this if you are in the city, but don't expect much to see.
It’s not bad for 50 MT. You can get a quick history of colonial time in Maputo. If you want to learn, you have to read a lot because there’s no tour guide there. You do the visit yourself. There’s a good view on top. There are descriptions of what type of armaments where used, I advise to read that. There’s the history health department.
Good to visit. Price of the ticket is more than resonable ... is true, not much to see, but is worth visiting. No souvenirs to buy, and not so much interest in the people administrating the museum to promote the place.
This is a museum of military history built many centuries. Suitable history enthusiasts and those wanting to learn about the history of Mozambique. It is access with small fee of 50MT per person
The fort is quite interesting although a bit lacking in historical detail about it all. It's now overseen by the university so I would've hoped for a bit more...... nonetheless there is a bit of history, lots of guns and some historical models. Most of all it's a nice, quiet place in the centre of town for reflection and peace. Staff are v friendly and only 50MZN entry.
Quick visit to the fortress.
It is indeed not big, but hardly costs anything (50 Mt pp)... so why not visit and support its maintenance.
Interesting display of Mozambique's history through puppet displays/ maquettes.
Of course you must not miss the old Portuguese Fortress of Maputo. It is actually quite small and can be covered in less than an hour.
They've got some pretty old cannons here which are neat to look at. Not exactly the funnest part of town to visit or park in, but you've got to do it at least once! There's some really interesting and informative exhibits explaining the formation of Maputo city over the last 500 years
Myself and two children went to explore the fort. We paid the entry fee which would have been a good deal if the place was maintained properly. The garden was full of smashed glass, plastic bottles, plastic bags, cut offs of traditional African fabric. The youngest one went to sit on a bench for a photo and stepped on a pin that went through her sandle and into her foot. Luckily she had her tetanus. Also all the spaces inside the fort walls had been locked off. Apart from that it was quite interesting. I do recommend going but not untill it is sorted. It would only take 1 hour to clean the place up but no-one seems to be interested. We got our money back and an apology was made.

Seafood market
The Maputo Fish Market is a must-visit for a unique dining experience. Located on the waterfront, this lively market offers an array of fresh seafood from various stalls. Visitors can purchase fresh fish and large prawns, which can be cooked at adjacent cafes over coal fires. While vendors may try to persuade you to buy from them, take your time and ensure that your purchases are accurately weighed.
An unforgettable seafood experience the fish tastes like it was just caught from the ocean
Thabang L — Google review
For over a decade, our family has made the Maputo Fish Market a must-visit destination. We have fond memories of coming here long before it was moved to its current location, always guaranteed a delicious, fresh meal that was a highlight of our trips. Unfortunately, our most recent visits have been a different story. The experience is no longer what it once was, and the joy of a good meal has been overshadowed by the rising costs. While we understand that prices for fresh seafood fluctuate, the expenses for the entire process have become quite steep.
The cost of the fish itself has gone up, as has the fee for having it cleaned. The most jarring change, however, is the price to have the fish cooked. The amount we are now charged for cooking is often higher than the price we paid for the fish itself, which seems disproportionate and unreasonable. To make matters worse, there are now additional, separate charges for starches and vegetables, which feels quite ridiculous given the overall cost.
We've come to the conclusion that a local restaurant, which offers a clean, comfortable environment and a guaranteed price, is now a better option. For what we pay at the fish market, we can get a meal of similar value at a restaurant, along with the comfort of a clean toilet and proper seating. While it's sad to say, the Maputo Fish Market no longer offers the same value or experience it once did for our family.
With all the fresh fish coming out of Maputo Bay, I think they're going to be covered. What you're really wondering about is the freshness. On the assumption that the locals at the market are tough professionals, we switched tack without so much as a flicker and took the prawns we had bought at the market with us to the takeaway restaurant next to the market.
Be careful if you go here! The prices are a total scam, especially for tourists. At the restaurant where they prepare your seafood selection, it’s even worse — they charge way too much and aren’t upfront about the costs.
On top of that, the vendors are relentless. While you’re just trying to wait, they keep hammering you to buy something, and it gets really annoying instead of enjoyable.
The bathrooms are terrible, dirty, and you still have to pay to use them. Honestly, the whole experience feels like they just want to rip people off rather than give good service.
If you’re planning a visit, just know what you’re getting yourself into. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Avoid. Very expensive, and, unfortunately, the people who work there have not a clue about tourism. The only target is to empty your wallet and destroy the experience. Seafood is indeed fantastic, but is better to avoid this place. It really shows the worst part of having a lunch in Maputo.
Crazy but lovely fish market. Gotta keep your witts about you otherwise it becomes overwhelming. The food is great/excellent but obviously depends on which establishment you choose to prepare it. Will definitely be back for another crazy experience;)
The people are extremely helpful, they can also get a bit overwhelming and pushy when you enter the fish market especially if you’re foreign as they all want to make a living. Negotiate with them as they are open to that, you can pay for cleaning as well. We’ve eaten at stand 16 they prepare it for you there and you pay for that. It’s honestly prepared beautifully and tastes great. Ask for Costa at stand 16 when you’re ready to eat.
This place has fresh fish in different sizes and types. The market has two sides one that sells the fish and the restaurants that prepare the fish that you choose from the fresh market. There is plenty seating area and secure parking for 20 MZM.

Train station
Sights & Landmarks
Architectural Buildings
The Maputo Central Railway Station is a charming colonial-style train station that was named the third most beautiful in the world by Time magazine in 2015. Visitors can explore the building and tracks, learn about its history and that of Mozambique through various exhibits and informational displays. Outside, a bustling market has formed where buses drop off many passengers. Although lively outside, inside it is serene with occasional trains bringing life to the station.
Beautiful place and affordable trains🔥💯
Thando M — Google review
Beautiful station. Not much else going on but it is a lovely building and the toilets are clean! Has an interesting '10 most beautiful stations in the world' exhibition.
A must visit if you’re in Maputo. Historic train station that takes you back to the bygone romance of train travel. Visit the museum and learn about the history of one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. Loved the architecture. Across the station are some excellent examples of Pancho Guedes architecture.
A nice old train station built in colonial style. There are a lot of information telling the story of the building and the history of Mozambique. You can stroll around and discover the building and tracks and with a little luck a train will fill the station with life. In front of the building the busses spit out a lot of people and a small market has established. It’s full and crowded outside but quiet inside.
A definite must to visit if/when you're in Maputo....as you walk in you may be met by Charles who will offer to be your guide, for a tip, and you can choose to accept or decline. If you accept, Charles personal stories of how he went to study economics in Cuba, sponsored by the, then, socialist government, before being called back early, before graduating and has worked as a guide at the station since then....very interesting. The station is beautiful and you can walk around and visit the historic restaurant for food or drink - a very cool place. You can also pay 100 MTZ to enter the museum, which is well worth it and walk along the interior of the old Belgian train. It's, cool and relaxed and conjures up images of a colonial past.
Designed in French Beaux-Arts style and completed in 1916, Maputo's central railway station is testament to a time when the railways were at their highpoint early 1900s. Train stations in those days almost had the same prestigious status as a cathedral. Those times are clearly over. The final blow for the Mozambican railways came after independence in 1975, when an exodus of qualified personnel took place and the railway system almost collapsed.
Though the station is still operational (three lines for transport of passengers remain) it is not longer a mass transportation hub. People in Mozambique prefer to take buses. The main bus station Junta is way out of town.
A stunning, stunning railway station filled with historical value and endless photo opportunities. Even if you aren't catching a train anywhere, this is one stop that's certainly worth a visit.
What a beautiful, quaint railway station! They have preserved the history while still making it modern. Everyone is helpful here. You can buy your ticket at the station. We were there off peak a d it didn't take long to get a ticket.
Art gallery
Restaurant
Centro Social & Cultural Do Núcleo De Arte is a vibrant art hub in Maputo, serving as a gallery, workshop, and educational center. It is the oldest collective of artists in the city and offers visitors the opportunity to admire local artwork and witness artists at work. The cooperative promotes up-and-coming artists through workshops and studios where painters and sculptors create their pieces. The space features contemporary art by some of Maputo's newest talents, with some pieces available for purchase.
I just happened to walk by this place, about a 5 minute walk from the Natural History Museum. Mozambique seems to have a distinctive style of art that I’ve especially enjoyed compared to other African countries I’ve seen.
I really enjoyed many of the paintings & the sculptures. The prices are also quite reasonable & a great way to support local artists!

What a beautiful Place. Live the evenigs with live music!
Tasty, especially the rice 👌🏾 and friendly staff 😊! Plates between 200 - 250 MZN
I had a delightful time at Nucleo de Artes. The art exhibition was captivating, set in a beautiful space that encourages creatives from various backgrounds to connect. The staff was friendly and receptive, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. Ended up purchasing a few impressive pieces from the gallery. A must-visit for art enthusiasts!
Great place to visit and one of the top places in maputo to drink a beer. Food and drinks to good prices. Every Sunday the have live music. But the best of this bar that makes it stand out, is the experience of going there to drink a beer and then going to galerie to see the painting, maybe even talking to some artist.
We visited the centre in the evening,with wide smile they welcoming us. The artists show us the gallary and even the workshop where they paint their pictures. We are so happy to see this great work in Maputo.
Great cultural spot with various artists from various fields in art. The food is delicious
The place to go to watch some art exposed, buy the piece of art that impressed you, and seat and relax at the local bar for a glass of water, soft drink or the best of all of them- 2M ( A Melhor do Mundo)

Garden
Park
Tunduru Gardens, established in 1885, is a serene oasis located in Maputo, Mozambique. Spanning across 3 hectares, this botanical paradise is a haven for nature enthusiasts and tourists looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Mozambique's flora and fauna. With over 300 plant species and a variety of birdlife, the gardens offer a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.
Beautiful gardens with massive trees. It is also well worth looking for the fruit bats. The garden seems very popular for wedding photos over weekends.
Thomas M — Google review
So beautifully maintained. Makes us feel peaceful. Beautifully place for phoroshoot. Open echo hall was also amazing.
What a beautiful place, lovely trees and interesting bats. We went on a Saturday and lots of people were getting married. Great to see. I had to pick up a few bottles or rubbish, keep the park clean, please, there is enough rubbish around without ruining this spot.
Lovely botanical gardens. Many couples come there for their wedding photos. Vegetation looks great!
Nice spot to visit in Maputo. The place is very convenient for study, reading a book, or quiet chill with friends. The WiFi is gratis but only working in certain areas on the day we visit. The entrance is well designed with a statue of the 1st President of Mozambique. Nice spot for pics as well.
It's a good place to visit and to chill & relax with your family, partner or alone 💯🔥☘️
Since 1885 this botanical garden survived in the old center of Maputo. Massive tall tropical trees provide shade. There is a small pond and the trails through divers vegetation are well maintained. Birds and bats have chosen the garden to be their home. It is a very tranquil place, excellent for a walk in the morning. Hardly suitable for running as the garden is rather small.
Small but lovely gardens - really, more of a park than a botanical garden. Well-kept, with a gateman to maintain order. Quiet, with benches and lawns. Lovely trees, flowers, and a very visible bat colony. Recommended.
Very beautiful park. On the weekends you can see couples celebrating their marriage, there is a place that you can see bats. You can sit and relax. There is also a tennis court.

The Casa de Ferro is a historical landmark that was imported from Belgium in 1892 to serve as the governor-general's residence. Located within the vicinity of other notable tourist attractions, this iron house may be considered a fascinating colonial relic. Although its exterior presents an interesting sight, there is not much to see inside. Nevertheless, it holds significant cultural value and is recommended for tourists seeking to immerse themselves in the local history and culture.
Antonio Macanja gave such so much information on Moçambique, he is a walking encyclopedia I could sit there the whole day learming about history from him. The place is clean and well maintained piece of history and they have beautiful local art pieces. Was worth the visit❣️
Keneuwe H — Google review
Interesting house with evidently lots of history. Unfortunately it is neither beautiful nor accessible to the public, but while you’re in the area it is well worth having a look.
A house made of iron prefabricated in Belgium parachuted in the capital of a Portugese colony in the tropics! It was meant to serve as a residence of the Portugese governor, but ever since 1892 the year it was erected offices went in and out. It was just too hot inside.
Perhaps a good example of how ignorant the initial Portugese rulers were about local conditions. For me a surprise that Gustave Eiffel did the design. Was the man as backward as his clients or was he just not interested in far-away territories?
There was an interesting exhibition of paintings in the hot house.
Entrance fee 100 Meticais
Didn’t go inside as we were in a rush, but interesting none the less. Designed by Gustav Eiffel for the then governor of Lorenzo Marques, even though Eiffel never been to Mozambique, the Iron House is made of iron... not at all practical in the cities tropical climate. The governor never ended up living there! There’s a craft shop that’s also worth a visit and the impressive statue of Samora Machel across the traffic circle.
Interesting place to visit, in the area where the main, historic tourist attractions are. Iron house for the governor to live in.....wow! Who's crazy idea was that - another colonial mistake, but fascinating all the same.
Seems like it could be a tourist trap but is actually quite an interesting building with a fascinating history. The whole area surrounding the Iron House is actually very interesting with much on offer.
It was an interesting building but closed so we could only look around on the outside and through the windows.
Interesting precinct yo view a number of historical sites. Would recommend getting a local guide to explain some of the significance
Park
Parque dos Continuadores FEIMA, also known as the Art Craft Market, is a must-visit attraction in Maputo, Mozambique. This vibrant outdoor market offers a unique shopping experience with a wide range of traditional arts and crafts.

We spent a couple of hours here today.
There is an assortment of hand made items. Everything from rugs, baskets and handbags to statues.
Vendors were polite and would deal with prices. $US were accepted everywhere.
The restaurants in the park were excellent and also accepted credit cards.
Certainly worth a visit and your time.
As a collector of trinkets, I loved it here. So many beautiful sights and sounds and just a lot of shopping to be had! We didn’t have much time to explore Maputo due to work, but I’m glad this was one of the stops we got to go on!
Great leadership. Wonderful people. This church is a place where you can hear the word of God and find a place to serve in. It's also a place to build relationships with fellow believers.
Fantastic oldfashioned city park..Lots of Straw colored fruitbats..a fascinating statue of four Goddesses. We went quite a few times just to enjoy the trees and atmosphere.
The area is somewhat delabitated with restaurants closed and renovations taking place, water feature also not functional. The area needs a good clearance
Lovely park, great space and a really good local craft Market. Not too pestered by sellers with
Good place to buy souvenirs. This is a tourist market yet still fun and peaceful. You can haggle for your purchase here but be polite.

City Hall
Council
Nestled in the heart of Maputo, the Maputo City Hall stands as a magnificent testament to neoclassical architecture. Completed in 1947, this grand structure graces Independence Square with its symmetrical columns and arched windows that draw the eye from afar. The intricate details on its balconies and an elegant clock tower enhance its stately presence. Surrounding the City Hall are notable landmarks, including a statue of Samora Machel, Mozambique's first president, and a stunning Roman Catholic cathedral.

The drinks arrived quite on time, however the food took a lot of time. This maybe due to the tush hour on a Sunday evening. Though in all it was a bang-on experience. Washrooms also a big 10/10 for the hygiene!
Nice place with good vibes. Excellent to watch sports in a good atmosphere.
The food is also well prepared, tasty and fast (in my experience).
Absolutely loved it here. The host gave us an experience, he was not selling food, but engaged us with an experience.
When we ordered, they offered to plate it differently.
Obrigado!
Dankie!

Good long hours, extensive menu, and it is pricey but worth it for the service here . I got a cappuccino and a pear & Gorgonzola pizza.
This used to be one of the best restaurants in Mozambique, unfortunately the quality dropped sharply. They still make good pizzas but unfortunately I can’t say the same for the rest of the menu options
It's grateful to see options for vegetarian.
Staffs are friendly, and can speak English for foreigners.
There are many seating options, including outdoor, semi-outdoor, and indoor.
Highly recommend 👍

Fun place to visit. Friendly people. Felt safe at all times.
There are many dry foods, nuts, vegetables and fruits in good quality. Price is negotiable for bulk purchasing. And there is a new 2-floor parking lot next to the market 👍
I've heard you can get fresh produce at good prices, although I've only visited the market to exchange some money. It's very lively and bustling with people when it's open.
It is my to-go place in Maputo for any and all type of vegetables and fruits. The quality of fruits and vegetables are very good and fresh. The sellers are friendly and they also learnt a bit English and Hindi names for the vegetables. Varieties of legumes, nuts, piri piri sauces and spices are also available here. There is a small area for fish sellers.
Good place for shopping, vegetables,Dry fruits, fruits, and local vegetables and many more things.
Extremely well stocked fresh produce, has a variety of stuff from spices to everything and all veggies and seafoods. Lots of fresh cashews. Reasonably priced.
It built in 1901. Local market.
I really enjoy eating traditional fruits in there. It also very cheap.

Praca da Independencia, or Independence Square, is a must-visit gem nestled in the heart of Maputo, Mozambique's lively capital. This historic square is steeped in cultural significance and serves as a poignant reminder of the nation's journey to independence. At its center stands an impressive statue of Samora Machel, the first president of independent Mozambique, who tragically lost his life in a plane crash.
Renamed in 1975 after Mozambique won its independence from the Portuguese, the square is dominated by a large statue of the country’s first president, Samora Machel, who died in a mysterious plane crash. On the north side of the square, look for the neoclassical city hall. To its east, the Art Deco Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, which resembles a wedding cake and was consecrated in 1944, is impossible to miss. Nearby, the French-Mozambican Cultural Center hosts everything from jazz performances to art exhibitions, and the Tunduru Botanical Gardens, a few blocks away, are worth visiting for some shade from the African sun

Not much to see, but given the location and historical significance, certainly worth a visit.
Very big place and could easily reach many historical sites along the street the president status facing. Walking distance from cruise ship terminal.
Culturally rich ,vibrant space in the busy vibrant city center with lots of historical buildings , beautiful architecture, museums art centers and other tourist attractions ! Definitely worth seeing and exploring if you are visiting Maputo
Great to see, a bright point made. Go independence 👆
Normal place, the government could make a better effort to highlight such an important moment. The Praça is not easy to access, as it is located in the middle of the road, as the Praça serves as a roundabout, so be wary of the cars as they drive in the opposite directions of the rest of the world.
It's an ok site, one can just pop by the area to take photos for the gram. Not much info is posted about Samora Machel on the actual site so if you don't know him, you'll just think it's a statue.
While in Maputo, I took time to go see the great Samora Machel statue, and took a couple of pics for memories... I really enjoyed the moment.

Possibly the best sundowner spot in Maputo. The decor is very nice and the views unmatched. The service is not the greatest and everything is a little pricey, but that is generally a small price to pay for the experience. Well worth a visit!

The best sunset spot in Maputo and the signature gin cocktail 🍸 was 10/10 💫
Also absolutely loved the setting, amazing décoration, music, shop, vibe…
Must go for sunset! Beautiful view of the sunset over the bridge. Cool vibe with delicious food and drinks. Recommend the cheese samosas. I would book a table as it's a popular spot. Insta paradise!
Excellent cafe and restaurant in Maputo with an incredible view of the water. You must visit!! The food and coffee was exceptional, and the waiter was attentive and friendly. Let me explain the missing stars from my score: 4 stars for service is because the car park is terrible and i ground the bottom of my car getting out. Nothing to do with the internal customer service, but if they want me to keep coming back then the parking needs to better than a patch of sand next to their place.
3 stars for atmosphere: this might be a little harsh, and could have been 4 stars, but the music was too loud and too intense for a lazy coffee at 3pm in the afternoon. At night, yes. I can see the music being an important part of the ambiance. But it didn’t fit when we were there.
In short… go and visit!! Excellent
Top cuisine. Top service. Top atmosphere. If parking could be improved, would be perfect
Fab views and cocktails. Highly recommend the cheese chamuças 💛
The views at this place are absolutely stunning. The service was very slow in the beginning and it wasn’t too busy. This did however, improve later on. The food was average. I think the best dishes were the lobster pasta, and the apple crumble. The chicken samosas tasted very greasy and bland, the bread that came with the prawns was a little stale. I would definitely come back for the ambience. Worth a try, but don’t expect too much in as far as the food goes.
Dhow is a stunning place with a beautiful design and one of the best sunsets. The service is less satisfactory when it fills up, and the prices are absolutely unreasonable. As a resident of the city it is lovely and always a suggestion when tourists visit.

Didn't go for food. As far as I could see the food looked delicious. Went for drinks and enjoy live music 🎶. Perfect atmosphere, excellent service. And ridiculously close to the sea. Tight security.
Very enjoyable place with a nice service, and fair pricing. If you’re serious about your lunchtime and are there 12h, you’re up for the fastest service of your lives. A bit slow during visit hours. Other than that, VERY good!
Located by the Maputo marina this restaurant has a lot to offer. The service is good the food is great. The sites are splendid. Great for business meetings, casual dates, steam blowing after work, family meals during the weekend you name it! It's also group friendly. They also offer live music on Fridays.
Great atmosphere & view of the sea. Well worth your visit when in Maputo.
Well curated with great service and amazing views
Great view of the ocean and customer service
Nice restaurant with a sea view. Food was okay. Don’t order natural juices, mine was terrible. Service was not bad. But I felt the floors and tables were a bit dirty. There are too many good options in the area, I don’t think I would be returning here again.

Natural History Museums
Nestled in a stunning Manueline-style building, the Museum of Geology is a hidden gem that offers an engaging journey through Mozambique's rich geological history. This museum showcases an impressive array of local rocks, fossils, and minerals that narrate the story of our planet's evolution over countless years. Visitors are often captivated by the beautiful exhibits featuring unique specimens from across Mozambique, including fascinating displays like naturally occurring fluorescence and large pieces of graphite.
I really enjoyed this place. The stuff was great, although it was a bit hard to understand their English but as a geologist, I would get a sense of what they were trying to say. They explained so much about the geology of Mozambique (or maybe not so much but...). Oh and the sight of all the rocks and minerals they have, it was so Gneisse to see

Beautiful collection of minerals, rocks and fossils!!! Got me back to my University days studying geology!!
Entrance fee: MZN100 (Approx. $1.4)
Very good collection of stones more than 1000 years old . I came from India The Information is displayed in portuguese as well as in English. That helped in understanding geology
excellent selection and supporting information. Well informed staff and helpful attendance.
My 5 year old loved this museum. Beautiful exhibits, with minerals from all over Moçambique. The guide was very knowledgeable and kind, a geology student at Eduardo Mondlane University. Showed us a big piece of graphite and how it is used in pencils. Showed us naturally occurring fluorescence. My child says he'd love to go back to Maputo and visit the museum again.
Very nice little museum. Ask one of the guides (usually volunteer geologists) to show you around and give you a spiel about the geology, geography and current industry of Mozambique. There are mostly mineral and fossil samples and some
maps. Entry is met 20 for students, 50 for locals and 100 for tourists.
Interesting Historical building. Walking distance from most locations. The staff that assisted were so friendly. As an English speaker they catered to my needs. If you are a fan of Geology, definitely pop in. Even if it is to escape the heat of Maputo 😊.
Really great museum showing the geology of Mozambique. Small but beautiful building and good exhibits. Has a large, nicely done scale model showing the rock types and elevations of the whole area of Mozambique. Definitely recommend a visit.

I love this beach for chilling on a capulana or the rocks and reading. It's very relaxed and safe.

Great selection and prices! Hope to make it back. Very manageable for English speakers!
Great place to buy Capulana. Very nice staff. The young woman/ daughter speaks English. Very patient staff who let me spend a long time there picking my capulana.
Truly a wonderland of fabrics and extremely reasonably priced. A must visit whilst in Maputo!
Well stocked fabric shop, lots of beautiful prints, traditional cloths and more interesting Mozambican prints including Frelimo, the President, etc. Helpful owner and staff.
Great collection of Capulana with acceptable prices. The owner and her daughter are very kind and helpful
The widest range of ethnic fabric that you will find with great service and incredible prices.
If you ask staff where the textiles come from, they reply Holland. But the bales of new goods are marked Made in China.

If you come to Maputo, you should go. You can know the history of Mozambique.
A nice historical place in Maputo. Near the Ministry of Agriculture with a nice view.
It is in a shape of a round about and as your car goes round you can see the whole place and building where the remains of Mozambican heroes were deposited.
Highly recommended.
This is the square of heroes, where Mozambican heroes rest, from presidents to personalities with historical achievements. The square is very beautiful, with a peculiar design surrounded by green grass.
This star shaped structure was designed by the Mozambican architect António Forjaz, as a way to homage Mozambican heroes, most of the notable freedom fighters like Samora Machel and Eduardo Mondlane are laid in this place. Lately we have seen some non freedom fighters being laid there, cases of José Craverinha and Justino Chemane, namely a poet and composer. Visits are only permitted on some public holidays like the 3rd of February (heroes day), and 25th June (independence day) among other few important public holidays.
It was culmest place ever be,
Praça dos Heróis (Heroes Square) is the place where Mozambique's heroes, those who fought the country's liberation struggle, are laid to rest. The crypt has a unique design that catches the eye of every passerby.
This place is a iconic symbol of resistance of the Mozambican people against oppression and coloniasation from the Portugueese definitely serves as a reminder to all passers by.

Awesome place to get a piece of history. Fantastic pictures and examples of different trains. Very clean and very quiet. Lovely place to take memorable pictures. Blood diamonds was filmed here. Only negative is the tourist tout who insisted on accompanying us. We didn't hire him, but expected lots of money. We gave him a tip just to get rid of him and his response was insulting. He said it was like we gave him nothing because meticals are not worth anything!!!

The Museu de Historia Natural is a museum showcasing taxidermy animals and videos on local eco-systems in a grand, Portuguese-style hall from 1911. Despite being an interesting attraction to visit, the exhibits are not well-maintained nor restored, with many of the taxidermy animals decaying due to the lack of proper care. The admission fee is 100MZN (R25) pp as of February 2022.
Excellent Museum for all age groups. Very well maintained and extremely detailed.
All foreigners above the age of 11 must pay 300 metical each to enter.
All nationals above the age of 11 have to pay 100 metical each to enter.
Children below 11 (foreigner or national) have no entrance fee.

Museum of Natural History, located in the centre of Maputo city easily accessible.
It shows most wildlife in Mozambique(including some African countries) with a section with crafts from old times in Mozambique.
Really worth visiting.
The entrance fee is reasonable.
The building itself is beautiful. The collections are what you would see in a Natural History Museum elsewhere with the exception of the elephant foetuses preserved in formaldehyde which are fascinating.
I used to come here as a child all the time; it had been a few years since my last visit, and I wasn't dissapointed. Everything was exactly as I remembered it, which isn't really the best thing, as some information was outdated (the evolutionary tree, that sort of thing), but it is a magical place, and truly somewhere one must visit when in Maputo.
The building is beautiful, but sadly, there is no wheelchair accessibility; a flight of stairs inside, too. Some of the taxidermy is a little funny, but a lot of effort and care went into the placement of the animals.
The museum is a nice attraction to visit. It's very sad that the exhibits are not being maintained and restored. Many of the taxidermy animals are decaying. The museum is very hot side as there is no aircons that is working. Entrance is 100MZN (R25) pp - February 2022 price. The gardens outside is not being maintained is has lots of rubbish. There are some dinosaur replicas with info plates next to them.
I would recommend for anyone visiting Maputo for the first time.
Nice natural history museum. May not be the largest there is, but the guided tour is informative and entertaining, especially for children. There's a lot of information about Mozambican animals.
The exhibits were interesting but some rooms or walkways were not accessible due to maintenance needing to be done. We found the outdoor dinosaurs fun and some of the indoor exhibits very interesting though. Worth the visit, just wish it was in better shape.
The building itself is beautiful. The collections are what you would see in a Natural History Museum elsewhere with the exception of the elephant foetuses preserved in formaldehyde which are fascinating. However they were cultivated when the colonial government decided to clear the forested area South of Maputo and in the process slaughtered about two thousand elephants.

A captivating journey through history! 🎨 The art museum offers a spotless and well-organized experience. However, I couldn't help but wish for more artist labels – a missing piece in an otherwise fantastic display. Imagine the delight of having a comprehensive list showcasing the incredible artworks! 🖼️ From war tales to ancient history and cutting-edge modern art, this museum is a treasure trove of diverse narratives. Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history and creativity that unfolds within these walls. A must-visit for art enthusiasts.
For some reason I felt this place does not stand to its name as for National and as for Art.
For 100 MT I went inside, photos are prohibited for some reason, the collection of artworks was not that organised, not enough information avaliable.
Quick look to see local art would be why you want to visit this place
I went there as a field trip with my students from a local high school. It is a wonderful place , the tour guide was very helpful, full of energy to explain the history of the museum. He made our visit a special one and memories are registered. I recommend families or groups to visit this place
This is a great museum, although very small - more like a large gallery. There are a number of paintings and sculptures across two levels. The art is very varied and interesting. As far as I could tell, all the artists are Mozambican. The lighting was decent and the space very clean and quiet. The pieces did not have descriptions and the titles were only in Portuguese. The receptionist did not speak English but was very friendly and helpful through hand gestures. Entry was 100 mt, a very low price for an abundance of great art. Be aware that the walk from the other tourist sites to the south is uphill when going towards the museum.
Excellent museum with many masterpiece from Chissano, Naguib, ... fees are 100 mt for foreigners, 50 for local, 25 for students
I was surprised when I visited on a weekend to find the museum open when I arrived at 1:30 pm (posted hours are only 2-4 pm on weekends). The worker was asleep, but happy to greet me when he woke up.
I was already a big fan of Malangatana’s works as I’d actually seen his exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. Highly recommend!!
Mozambique has a lot of talented artists though & a unique style, so I greatly appreciated the other exhibits as well! (& highly recommend the Nucleo de Arte in downtown to but directly from current artists also).
Small art museum with Mozambican art. Most pieces appear to date from the 1980's and 90's. Art is a window into a nation's psyche, so this is well worth the time. Titles are in Portuguese, get a translation (translation app, etc.) to have some context. No photography is allowed, even without flash. Entrance fee was 100 MZN for foreigners, 50 for citizens, and 25 for students.

No doubt, great food. But truly pricey, even for foreigners. See review pics for the menu
Kwetu is a special gem within Maputo that gives flavor, soul and positive vibrations. The owner takes pride in making sure the guests are taken care of and the food is delicious. Over a month plus stay i found myself visiting atleast once a week to feed my cravings. The daily specials always hit the spot, from shrimp and rice to meatballs and salads it was all a fresh experience. If you find yourself in Maputo go visit ✨
Nice place with a nice atmosphere and some local dishes. The food is not that bad and the prices are nice.
Although I liked their food better some time ago. The meat and chicken aren’t as soft (well prepared) as it used to be.
Overall a place I would recommend! Follow them on social media for some activities they plan from time to time.
Food's amazing. Also the atmosphere is always very inviting and welcoming. The parties are amazing
Nice place with great food, which is quite affordable (well, relatively). Language was not a barrier for an anglophone like myself, since manager could speak English. The problem had to do with the lead time between order and actual food service. Also, the fact that one has to suffer from secondary smoking as other customers easily smoke on the same premises. Could be better if a designated smoking area is provided, particularly for those who'd prefer to smoke. On a whole, I'd visit there again if I get the chance
We heard good things about this place but must say we weren't overly impressed. Must say the food was very good we had the Masai beef curry ...problem is of the 5 dishes we really wanted to try they only had one... basically in the end we just asked them to point at what they actually have on menu instead of them say no. Service wasn't the best ...there's laid back and there's not really caring ... overall it was just OK

I’m a meat lover and had high expectations for the place, but was really disappointed.
First of all, on the menu the cream and mushrooms beef state that it comes with a fried egg and chips. Luckily i asked but the waiter said sorry, the egg is no longer a partnof the menu if you want the fried egg it will come as an extra. After i insisted that i want the egg but would not be paying for the extra they sort it out and included the egg without charging.
But then, after we ordered the food (3 people in total) we waited almost an hour until it arrived. For our disapointment the beef was cold, the chips were cold and the mushroom sauce that had come on a separate bowl had already developed a thick layer on top (indicating it was hot and stayed out for a while).
When i asked about this they immediately took mine and my friends beef plate back to the kitchen and im guessing they put it back on the grill or oven or something, Because the egg came out with less runny yolk than it came initally. I hoped at least they would bring a new steak properly done.
In hopes that the meat would save the day, but it didnt. For the price paid the meat was not tender. The fat didnt render properly, it was extremely chewy and hard to cut even with a serrated knife, so in both plates we had to leave the fat out, and even some pieces of the meat we couldnt tear it a part in our mouths so we had to take it out. Didnt finish the plate.
We raised the concern with the waiter, the information we got back was that they would pass on the information back to the kitchen, and nothing else.
We had our cup of espresso and left, but i’m definitely not coming back. Not worth the price point.
Best known for its restaurant, but the place also comprises a nice galleria and the library of Mia Couto (writer).
The galleria features a very intimate exhibition of Claudia Freitas (until November 30, 2021): Lights of absence, see also the translation of the introductory text attached hereto. Absolutely worth your while to go up the stairs and to visit the exhibition.
Beautiful intimate gallery and restaurant with relaxed ambiance. Transformes into theatre space during Festival Internacional Teatro de Inverno(FITI) and the owner is a very warm and welcoming host.
An amazing place, a must visit.
There's a restaurant to cater all taste buds for the food lovers. A gallery for your artistic side and a library for book lovers to read a story or two
Food is really good .. it's art gallery with restaurant ..
If you get seat outside you will love it..
What an enjoyable space, after a bit of a flop at an expensive Chinese food joint the night prior it was a pleasure to enjoy the food and service here - easy to reccomend

First time for me to visit Maputo ,it was awesome. The date was 12 September 2025.
Impressive statue of this stately leader in the middle of a huge traffic circle close to the Town Hall. Samora stands tall and proud, hand raised
Independence square in Central Maputo provides so much history of Mozambique within a 1 kilometer radius, City Hall is right behind the statue, Cathedral of Out Lady of the Immaculate Conception located just on the right hand side, and a stones throw down the road you find the Casa de Ferro(The Iron House) and the Tunduru Botanical Gardens right next too, abit further down the road the Bank of Mozambique stands tall and mighty with Maputo Central Market is near by. Great part of Maputo to visit
One of the magnificent landmarks in Capital Maputo.
This statue is a great tribute. Being in the middle of possibly the largest round about in Maputo, it's hard to miss. It is so well maintained, the flowerbeds around the statue are beautiful. At sunset the view from the statue down towards the docks is beautiful.
It's just another historical site...Great location to take photos

The environment around is nice. But dont expect to find nothing more than that. The meals are super expensive and there is no reason for that. I do believe that people use to go out there just to hang out and for the drinks...I guess!!
Quiet place and great for chill moment with kids. A restaurant is available around the corner.
A beautiful preserved piece of history ,the park is great for walks and a great place to just layback and read a book
very nice ambient with beatiful restaurants and parks
A great place for a light meal and nice coffee. Great outdoors space, and child friendly, with beautiful green garden. Good for brunch and happy hours.
Small Park with a restaurant (Meia Tigela). Nice quiet place. Usually the benches are occupied. Many people stop there to rest. Overall, it's a good place if you want to have a chat with your friends...

If anyone interest to see Flamingo nearer to Maputo City Center. Visit place when you see clear sky and low tide, preferable time between 14:00 to 16:00 hrs
Nice and cheap Beach, if you want better Beach you need to go to other near by beaches.
One of the beautiful places to be in Maputo. You can take family and friends to create gorgeous memories 😊.
My home town, love it. Try some local grilled chicken at the beach as well some grilled magumba (local fish)
Visiting the country where I was born, founding changed , good accomodation, good food, although been many years left the country. Having family there , I pretend visiting more often.
I just realised I did not take many pictures of the beach itself, its a great place to meet the locals and taste local cuisines, they have street bars selling local and international beers, the water is not so great but overall its not a bad afternoon out with the locals
Costa do Sol is a nice place to be,what I most like about it is the grilled chicken they sell by the road... Gets too crowded during hot days but there's always a good corner to relax

Well cared off theater.
This place brings to many of us born in the 70's memories of children movies like "Helena salva seu pai", "Baia de Guantanamo", " O ritmo da felicidade", " Trinita o comboy insolente", just to mention a very few of top movies from those days.
Good place for meetings, debates and cultural events in UEM (university of Eduardo Mondlane) and Maputo city as whole so far however it should be improved to be able to reach the suitable conditions as cooling systems and expansion as well. Cool place so far and I recommend! Sorry for one less star
Nice room, but needs a stronger Aircon
A peaceful and home of culture and classic music, love it
Excellent venue and a truly Center of Africa and Mozambican culture.
Recommended place for see alive shows of Mozambican artists and artists abroad when come to Mozambique
Very good venue, however, a cooling system is needed

Worst service I paid 15000mt vip why I was kicked out like a dog I have money to pay I don't eat for free why do you treat us I am not a person I also paid I don't eat for free very bad service I came to visit thinking that this place has good service and level in the end is the worst look down on me like I have no money to pay very bad I have never encountered this. The worst. I will never use VIP service. I want to say that I am very disappointed with the service today. It is very bad. I paid for everything. I even paid for the card. But in the end, you looked down on us and treated us like we had no money to pay. It made us embarrassed in front of everyone in the pub.
The most useless place ,interior is horrible ,entrance fee is $30 , you drink your beer while standing,chairs are meant for those who book in advance,DJ has completely no flow or music balance ,Service is horrible,you can rarely be given a glass.booking a chair and a table is $80 while VIP is $200 (it’s a pity what they call a VIP). When you are an expatriate better look for another place to enjoy in Maputo
nice club! We went in a not so busy day,it was a cold Friday haha. But it’s a nice club to have fun in Maputo. Anyway The drinks are too expensive.
Great place. But you should be more careful with girls that lose control over alcohol. Improve your security policies and be more humans.
I'm im maputo for few days on business trip, this club is top on everything, service, quality, music, security, people, TOP TOP level it's a real 6 stars club.
The music, sound, and light show were absolutely stunning, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for a fun night out; it's a fantastic spot to enjoy great music.
Reasonably okay considering tw limited options of pubs around Maputo city. Depending on the theme of the party, the DJa can get the crowd going! The restrooms are increbly clean only wish was to have slight darker lights instead in the main dance room.

Top class in world 5 star Hotels.
Lovely accommodation, beautiful view and nice attendance.
Lovely, neat and vibrant place. Assistants are helpful. They explain what ever we can't understand as we had difficulty understanding the meticals and points. It really surprised me to see the level of trust and how comfortable people were to play her3. They just left handbags and cell phones on the seats or Machines and went away. This was very reassuring. We really enjoyed spending a few hours here.

Bar
If you find yourself in Mozambique, a visit to Gypsy's Bar is an absolute must for any pizza lover. This charming pub has been delighting patrons since 2013 with its signature gypsy/caprichosa pizza, renowned for its incredible flavor and perfectly thin crust. The atmosphere is uniquely authentic, making it a great spot to unwind with friends over cold beers. The friendly barman adds to the experience by ensuring guests feel welcome and safe—he even helps arrange transportation when needed!
I loved this place. The barman is a very sharp and nice guy. The beer 🍺 was cold and perfect. The pizza is lovely, thin crust 😋 👌.
I needed a taxi one night, the barman arranged a safe return to my hotel.
It's a must if you visit Maputo.
Keep the good work on!

Best pizza in town 😍
Great place to hang with the buddies and great pizza!
The best pizza ever!
I have been eating the gypsy/caprichosa with beer since 2013. Years have passed and their pizza is still gets to me like np other in terms of flavor and texture.
The pub has a different and authentic vibe itself. When in Mozambique, visiting Gypsy is a must.
It's a nice pub. Great beer and delicious pizza. Could give it a 5 stars but I think they can offer more.
Pizza 24hs but they tend to be dry. In interesting area - Maputo's red light district.
I love this place, its downtown but its worhth it. Nice pizza, good vibe
The food was very good. They could provide better cutlery, but very satisfied with the service and food

The place is not what it used to be. It is very clear that the management are incompetent and unable to manage the upkeep. I was very embarrassed to bring my friends and family who traveled from another country to the place. The toilet is repulsive. The cocktails are the worst I’ve had in Maputo. It had reputation of best pastel de natas, but would never recommend the place to anyone ever again. Very dirty, couches terrible. The menus are so overused and rotated, I was disgusted just touching them. This place is a run down gem. Change management urgently.
Cozy place, nice both for breakfast, lunch and for drinks at the end of the day (they also have the usual pastry side). Nice view of Maputo Bay. If you enjoy live music, they have it on Fridays and Saturdays at the end of the day. Service is cool if it is not a busy night.
A nice place to hangout for breakfast or a quick bite, the sea view is relaxing and calm, but during windy days it becomes chill pretty quick. Nice service and also has live music during weekend evening. Also has some nice sushi. I don't eat cheese, but I was told by my wife that the pizza dough is very soft and it makes taverna's pizza unique. The only issue is that your food might delay let's say 30 to 60 minutes, if you don't ask for the regulars. So that's why 3 star instead of 4 stars.
Really good spot for breakfast specially after a run or a workout at the gym (there are many nearby). The view is amazing however the staff messed up on our order quite a few times. It also gets really stuffy here on hot days when you are seating outside.
Lovely venue. With and amazing view of the bay. Pastry are realy amazing and very friendly staff. Service was quick
A hardware place where you can find quality products, Electric, Hardwear, carpenter.
I love the concept and the variety of products.
Their menu and meals are very well composed.
They just need to synchronize and standard the recipes and practices on presentation and quantities.
Sometimes you go to a certain taverna and you ask for a cheese toast and you have the right amount of cheese on a correct temperature (melted), and if you go to other taverna, they won’t serve you the same way.
The promotional menus are very practical and life saving (jokes).
I’m a big fan. ✨

The Mafalala Walking Tour in Maputo offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the city's most iconic neighborhoods. This area is steeped in history, known for its role in anti-colonial resistance and as the birthplace or former residence of influential figures in Mozambique. The tour provides insight into the deep racial and socioeconomic divides that characterized the city under Portuguese colonialism.
Excellent tour by Nedy! Cost 1200 MT (Mozambique). Highly recommend it!! I have visited over 25 countries and this is one of the best walking tours. It is an old/original neighborhood that highlights the deep racial and socioeconomic divides this city has experienced under Portuguese colonialism. This neighborhood has not been mapped out on Google so hard to explore by yourself if you are a tourist / traveller. My tour ended with a traditional dance by local women who did the dance with the whole outfit and everything. (This dance is available pending availability of the dance group, good idea to check in advance).

Super interesting and unique walking tour. You get to know insight into the history and life of Mafalala. Its definitely more than just a tourist tour. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic tour with Nedy. We learned lots about the history and culture of Mafalala which we never would have appreciated walking through the area in our own. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Highly recommend!
An overwhelming visit. Nery was such a professional with a great articulated speech and knowledge that made much more than a mere tour. It was an eye-opener experience. This should be an obligation not only for the portuguese as well for those who thinks we live in a developed and concerned society.
This is tour done by an local comunity association called IVERCA, which take you to experience suburban life of Mafalala and visit places where use to leave Samora Machel, Eusébio and other important people of Polical, cultural and sport of mozambique.
Great tours in one of the most iconic and historic "bairros" of Maputo. The guides are nice and helpful.
I had a wonderful one on one tour with guide Bennie. An eye opener!
