    What a gem. Learnt a lot. Very informative and well presented. Another unexpected highlight were the wedding photo shoots happening all around us. Nice touch. Only disappointment: didn’t see any moving trains at this train station. Could use more crowds and trains departing and arriving. :-)

    This museum has so much to see and all the information is set out in Portuguese and English - so we could read about the history and all the exhibits. We all enjoyed it immensely - young and older. A great outing for the whole family!

    A beautiful museum in a beautiful city. The exhibits are very well done and easy to follow. There is an abundance of information which is translated in both English and Portuguese. Towards the back of the museum there are real trains that are exhibited and they are in very good condition and well taken care of. The price of entry is very reasonable and cheap which makes it available to most of the public. With this being said, it isn't overpacked. It's location within the train station is ideal as it is quiet and avoids the huge crowds of people waiting for their trains. Walking to the museum takes you through the station and allows you to see Mozambican life in progress. Overall a great experience and one worth enjoying on your next visit to Maputo. Even if you are a local, the museum is definitely worth a visit!

    Central station, beautiful and historic monument. One of the visiting cards of the city of Maputo, with old trains that carry a long history of a people. Here we can find old locomotives to see how much railway transport has developed.
