Gateway to Mozambique’s Vibrant Coast

Mozambique's capital city is situated on the Indian Ocean coastline. It is the southernmost city in Mozambique, and is closer to South Africa than the rest of Mozambique, leading many locals to complain that the politicians are out of touch with what is happening in the rest of the country.

Why Visit Maputo?

A Coastal City with Cultural Soul

Maputo's biggest attraction is its railway station, which was designed and built by Gustav Eiffel, a name you might recognise. Despite that and it being the capital, there is not much to see or do in Maputo and stays here are usually just overnight stops on the way to or from one of the beautiful tropical beach resorts and dive areas.
