This intriguing landmass is connected to the mainland by the 3.8 kilometre Mozambique Island Bridge. It offers a variety of attractions, making it one of the most popular things to do in Mozambique.
There is one stand out feature of the island which should absolutely not be missed: Fort Sao Sebatian.
Still retaining the original structure, the fort is actually the oldest landmark of its kind in the Southern part of Africa and the unique architecture makes for an immense and spellbinding sight.
This masterpiece took more than 50 years to construct and when you walk the perimeter of the majestic walls which guard it, you can understand why.
Not too far from the fort you can find the ancient Chapel of Nossa Senhora de Baluarte, which is also an awe inspiring sight in its own right and worth checking out when visit Fort Sao Sebastian.
Mozambique Island is of huge cultural importance for the identity of the mainland but it also offers a simply beautiful destination to explore without the tourist crowds you will often find in other popular tourist areas in Africa. Rich in heritage and visually appealing, a visit to this unique part of the world is one of the most interesting things to do in Mozambique
