It boasts a beautiful garden with a relaxing atmosphere. It is not far from the shore and a lot of restaurants,banks,hotels and it also houses Samora Machel ' s statue.
Didn't spend too much time there. But it is a beautiful place with a view looking down at the shore and the development currently taking place. There is also a restaurant, I'm not sure about their service as I didn't order anything.
A beautiful place for a walk. Local plants and beautiful views. Feel very safe.
Well maintained gardens. An oasis in the city. Very peaceful
It's a beautiful garden, with a vast diversity of plants/trees. It's quiet and nice to ambient to read/study or just relax.
I don't give it five stars because there are a lot of mosquito like insects after 4-5pm, which sting and irritate the skin, making it very ichy. It also doesn't have shade in many of the benches provided by the park.
Quite nice but sadly lacking maintenance. Garbage can be seen in some areas.
Take your family here and have a good day playing with the kids. Free Wi-fi available and lot of plants to find out. During the weekends you can see just married couples with their families taking pictures for memories. Historical Garden, no doubt this is a place to visit.
Historic place and well preserved. Very green and nice for day to day reading. Mostly crowded on weekends and holidays!
Beautiful gardens in the city centre. Nice relaxing atmosphere close to the Casa de Ferro and Catedral de Maputo, so you could visit all three within walking distance. Great for a day exploring the city.
There's some sort of enclosed area in the garden that's under renovation and will really add something special when its eventually complete (it still hasn't opened since I visited it a year ago in 2016).
In the centre of the garden there are several trees where really big fruit bats hang out during the day. You can see them in the trees in huge numbers. Really worth the visit even to see just the bats!
Beautiful garden I have ever seen as yet. It's peaceful with great beautiful flowers.
20 times circles to walk everyday encourages yr healths..Only One Central Garden in Maputo
Love this place now, it was refurbished lately and it looks great.
It's one of the oldest gardens of the city. It's really beautiful and a nice place to go sit and enjoy a book under the shade of trees. It has bats so when the sun goes down watch out :p. Has a café, not sure about the cleanliness of the washrooms. And has free WiFi (yet really slow)
Great green area in Maputo down town. Best visited on a group. Watch your belongings.
Since the rehabilitation, the city's most central and famous garden really become a landmark, close to what it used to be in the past, before it became a dangerous place, occupied by homeless people. Now, it's open to the general public and you actually see people enjoying it. There's still work to be done, mainly in the maintenance department and it also needs some infrastructures, maybe a café and restaurant. One of the letdowns is you may only enter through the Samora Machel Av. gate, all the others are locked.
Lovely green space in the Baixa, with lots of wedding goers during the weekends
Beautiful gardens. Historic area.
Nice calm place, but only safe during daytime
Nice park for a walk, or enjoy one of the many benches. The nearby tourism office is quite nice also.
Fresh and beautiful place to see. Good to walk with kids and tourists. Lot to see.
Small but beautiful park. Bats are great! Beware of thiefs around the park
Nice place to get rest, talk or read a book. And also for a walk.
Nice park in the center of town. Good spot to bring the kids or just sit and relax.
One of our great botanical gardens. Recently rested and presented a new more modern image with a large and diverse garden. It offers the opportunity not only to know the botanic garden as to spend a good period of the pleasant day.
Great place for a walk. Popular for weddings.
Clean and quiet, very interesting plants all around and a colony of giant bats, which don't bother at all. Basic but working toilets, there's a small restaurant informally shared with the tennis club. Very good also for jogging and kids.
