Maputo, Mozambique

Maputo Mozambique

Maputo is the capital city of Mozambique. It is the largest city in Mozambique and the country's most important harbor. It is situated at the mouth of the Santo River in the extreme south, 90 km from the border with South Africa. The city’s urban area feels small and concentrated, with wide avenues and old trees. Maputo’s vibe is healthy and active, with lots of street vendors and markets. Buildings throughout the city range from old colonial palaces to new high-rise constructions, but the dominant architecture consists of Stalinist-looking concrete-walled boxes, generally with badly eroded paint and rusty security bars. Fortunately, these tend to fade into the background, and there are enough buildings with old charm and lush enough gardens to give a pleasing if shabby feel. Especially outstanding buildings which shouldn't be missed are the Pancho Guedes creations: Guadiesque, surreal and difficult to find. Maputo is a big, modern city with a beautiful skyline and harbor, wonderful old buildings and tree-lined avenues full of life and culture.
