Sights & Activities
Strolling around Inhambane's quiet traffic-free streets comes as a surprise treat if you've
been frequenting some of Mozambique's other urban areas. The Cathedral of Nossa Sen-
hora de Conceição Offline map Google map , dating from the late 18th century, is one of the
main landmarks. It rises up behind the newer cathedral Offline map Google map , just north
of the jetty. North of here, reached by following the waterfront road, is the small old
mosque Offline map Google map (1840). The new mosque Offline map Google map is several
blocks further east. Don't miss strolling along the waterfront at sunset, and watching the
sun sink into the flamingo-frequented Inhambane Bay.
Inhambane's colourful market Offline map Google map is at its best in the early morning.
Also recommended is the tiny museum (Avenida da Vigilância; admission free, dona-
tions welcome; 9am-5pm Tue-Fri, 2-5pm Sat & Sun) near the new mosque. Its displays
include collections of traditional musical instruments, clothing and household items from
the surrounding area, with some captions in English.
