Przed wyjazdem
Z lotniska
Maputo International Airport (MPM) is 5km northwest of the center. The official airport taxi fare to the city center is fixed at around 700-800 MZN (approx. €10-12). The Trela ride-hailing app also operates at the airport.
Poruszanie się po mieście
The Baixa (city center) and Polana areas are fairly walkable, with wide sidewalks. However, distances between neighborhoods can be large, and crossing busy avenues requires caution.
Lokalne wskazówki
- For the best peri-peri prawns, head to the cluster of simple restaurants right on the sand at Costa do Sol, not just the famous Maritimo.
- Always carry small denominations of Mozambican Meticais (MZN). Large bills are often difficult to break, especially in markets and for taxis.
- The 'chapa' (minibus) is the local transport workhorse. It's cheap and authentic, but know your route and destination before hopping on.
