Situated on the Indian Ocean, the capital of Mozambique is a port city filled with Portuguese colonial architecture, charming neighbourhoods, and wide tree-lined avenues, with the iconic Inhaca Island near by. Maputo is an ideal place to experience the local culture, so make sure you invest some time in this bustling city before heading north.
The distance from Maputo Airport to the city is approximately 6 km, taking around 15 minutes by car. Due to limited public transportation, you have just two transportation options when travelling from Maputo Airport to the city centre; taxi or private transfer. Taxis are available at the airport 24/7 and a trip to your resort or hotel should cost about €7.40 (MZN 500). For a more personalised and seamless service, you can book a private transfer.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Maputo at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
