Maputo is a vibrant and colorful port city in southern Mozambique with a strong Portuguese heritage and a warm Indo-Ocean atmosphere. Its narrow streets, colonial architecture and spice-scented markets create a unique mix of history and modernity. The city attracts not only its seascape, but also the leisurely rhythm of life, which you want to feel while walking along the embankment.
Among the man-made attractions stands out the Municipal Market, or Central Market, located in the lower part of the city; it is known for its unusual architecture, bustling atmosphere and a wealth of local products and crafts. Be sure to see the historic railway station and the church, the fortress Nossa Senhora da Conceição, as well as the museum collections of the national museum and the house "Casa de Ferro" - an example of colonial architecture. Squares and old buildings of the center keep the memory of different eras and give a lot of subjects for photos and walks.
