Although many foreigners refuse to visit this place because they feel unsafe, in my opinion a visit to the Malanga Market is a must for any visitor to the city of Maputo.

The Malanga is an huge market where thousands of people gathered everyday. It's open from 5am until 5pm all 7 days of the week.

In this market buyers can find produce & fruits for the most inexpensive price in the whole city of Maputo.

A visit here is quite intense !! -Visitors are permanently being offered goods for sale and even just walking in there is not always easy since the pathways are extremely narrow and people circulate constantly in all directions.

Warning Tip: please be aware that locals might not be pleased for being photographed. Worse is the case if one's not buying any goods from them at all !!

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
