Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception
a) Big white cathedral (starting point): officially called Nossa Senhora da Conceição the cathedral (as it is mostly known) or demon’s cathedral was built in the 1930’s - 1940’s by Marcial simões Freitas e costa, who was a deputy director of the railways at the time and worked free of charge. The construction was a major feat for the catholic church of the time, which was still reeling under the effects of the revolution of the 1910 in Portugal and had a very weak presence in Mozambique. This was one of the places in the city were hundreds of people had the opportunity to see Pope Franscisco during his visit to Mozambique (3rd to 6th September, 2019). The second but not least important visit we have had of a Pope. • Inside there is art work by Francisco Franco (statue of the sacred Heart of Christ, the baptismal figures, the bronze doors), Simões Freitas (the marble statues), and Antonio Lino (marble altars). The stained glass windows were produced in the Netherlands during the war. Today we can see different patterns on the stained glasses as result of an incident that happened in 2007 (explosion of a bunker) and caused a lot of destruction and deaths in Maputo. Nossa Senhora da Conceição is a nice example of the lots of Art Deco buildings we have in Maputo. Some people even say that if we join all the Art Deco buildings we have in Maputo, this could maybe be a little Miami
b) Town hall : was designed and built in the 1940’s by architects Carlos César dos Santos, Franz Keindl and Aranaldo Pacheco Pereira Leite. In front of it, in the Lisbon – style pavement used to be inscribed the words, “Aqui é Portugal”, this is Portugal, the words of president Américo Tomás when he visited Mozambique in 1964. Instead of the present day statue of Samora Machel, there used to be equestrian statue of Mousinho de Albulquerque (now in the fort). The building together with the cathedral used to be the pride of Portuguese Mozambique. Inside we have nice models of the old Lourenço Marques (present day Maputo) and a nice hall to see.

4.00We were three groups who thought we had booked a car tour with a private guide. In the end, we did the tour together in a small bus. Our guide was very kind and proud to talk to us about Maputo. The rain somewhat made the day a bit less enjoyable, but overall, for a 3-hour excursion, it was acceptable.

5.00We had a wonderful time with Nelton as our guide. He was very personable, knowledgeable and engaging. Meeting people like him and our driver is as much part of the travel experience as the sights. We went to the train station, central food market, cathedral, gardens and amazing outdoor art market. Highly recommend this tour.
Top trip!

5.00Herminio has taken us well through all the uncertainties, much told. We didn't miss anything. Our driver was very safe. Gladly on the way again, although quite expensive.
Great tour if it would be done in full

3.00The guides were very hard at work and a great day to fulfill in Maputo and spoke good English. In the port terminal, we found them immediately. Unfortunately, the air conditioning of the bus was defective. It could be replaced after 1/3 of the tour. The tour was very nice, except for the fact that half an hour was taken in a souvenir area and the time was then spent on the other booked sights (according to the book). Excursion description) was no longer sufficient. Very poorly organized. After all, we did not book a “butter drive”. So we didn't get the full program we paid for either. And the long stop at the souvenir stands leaves a pale aftertaste when the tour ends abruptly afterwards.
The trip was supposed to...

5.00Very enjoyable and informative little excursion throughout the city. The guide, Calisto, was very knowledgeable and kind. This tour allows you to get a nice overview of some of the historical, cultural and social elements of Maputo and Mozambique as a whole.
