Feira de Artesanato, Flores e Gastronomia de Maputo
About This Museum
Everyone comes to the Feira de Artesanato, Flores e Gastronomia de Maputo for one reason: to dive headfirst into the vibrant, beating heart of Mozambican culture. It's less a quiet museum and more a bustling, open-air celebration where the air is thick with the scent of grilling peri-peri prawns and the sound of local Marrabenta music. I lost an hour just chatting with a master craftsman carving intricate scenes from jambir wood, his hands moving with a lifetime of skill. You go for the souvenirs, but you leave feeling like you've experienced a real slice of Maputo life.
Collection Highlights
The real highlights are the living artisans at work, stalls overflowing with colorful capulana fabrics, towering displays of tropical flowers, and sizzling food stalls serving up piri-piri chicken and fresh cashew nuts.
Visitor Information
Come hungry and with space in your suitcase. It's located on Avenida dos Mártires da Machava—just follow the crowds and the incredible smells. Weekends are buzzing, but that's when you'll find the most action.
