Maputo

Maputo, the capital and largest city of Mozambique, is located in the extreme southern part of the country on the Indian Ocean.
Founded in the late 18th century, the city was named Lourenço Marques for the Portuguese trader who first explored the area in 1544.
In 1907, it became the official capital of Mozambique.
After independence, most of the city's large Portuguese population left and its name was changed to Maputo.
Maputo was once described on a par with Cape Town, but 20 years of war led to the city's deterioration, with many of the beautiful old buildings spoiled.
However, the city is slowly regaining it's charm and maintains a very busy atmosphere.
The capital’s economy is dominated by the modern port, on Maputo Bay: coal, cotton, sugar, chrome, ore, sisal, copra, and hardwood are the biggest exports.

Overall Guide : A great city. Hospitable and not at all lacking in atmosphere. Different to the rest of Southern Africa's cities, infact is a one of a kind. The beaches aren't the country's best, except on Inhaca Island. The highrises and nice ... Leggi tutto neighourhoods are crammed in a conveniently small area close to the sea, that's where the nice food and drinks + accommodation is. So transportation isn't an issue as it's easier just to walk. The Maputense youth know how to party, and have a good time. It isn't a great city to 'do' in a rush.. but it is truly loved by nearly all those who stayed longer.
