Getting Around
To/From the Airport
Maputo International Airport is 6km northwest of the city centre (Mtc400 to Mtc500 in a
taxi).
Bus & Chapa
Buses have name boards with their destination. City rides cost about Mtc5.
Chapas
go everywhere, with the average price for town trips from Mtc5. Most are
marked with route start and end points, but also listen for the destination called out by the
conductor. To get to Junta, look for a
chapa
going to 'Jardim'; coming from Junta into
town, look for a
chapa
heading to 'Museu'.
