I'd read that Newsweek listed Caminho de Ferro de Mocambique (CFM) as one of the top ten most beautiful train stations in the world, and I can say that it truly is beautiful. We visited during the day and found a small bar, which had signs for a 340ml show that weekend. We came back on Saturday night for one... More

We stopped here briefly after having heard that this place is a landmark and warranted a visit. The train station is located at the bottom end of town and is an old remnant of what life must have been like back in Maputo’s hey-day.
