Maputo Free Walking Tour
About This Museum
Honestly, the coolest thing about this 'museum' is that it's not in a building at all—it's the city itself. The Maputo Free Walking Tour turns the entire capital into a living, breathing exhibit. You don't just look at artifacts behind glass; you walk through bustling markets, past stunning colonial architecture, and hear stories that make the history feel immediate. It’s a completely different way to experience a place.
Collection Highlights
The 'collections' are the city's vibrant street life, the iconic Iron House, and the grand Train Station. You'll also get to see local markets bursting with color and maybe even sample some fresh cashew nuts.
Visitor Information
Just show up at their meeting point on Rua H. De Sousa—no need to book ahead, but checking their social media for times is smart. Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and remember it's free, but you should definitely tip your guide based on what you think the tour was worth.
Architecture & Building
You're not touring one building but a whole mix of them: from crumbling Portuguese colonial facades to stark modernist structures and that famous train station that looks like a palace.
