centuries it was the colonial capital.

It is linked to the mainland by a 3.5 km single-lane bridge.\r\n\r\nLong before the Portuguese, the island was an Arab-Swahili trading port. Vasco da Gama arrived in 1498, and the Portuguese made it the capital of Portuguese East Africa until 1898, when the capital moved to Louren\u00e7o Marques, now Maputo. The country itself takes its name from the island.\r\n\r\nIts history is written in its architecture. The northern half is the Stone Town, with colonial palaces, churches, mosques, a Hindu temple and grand merchant houses, many restored and some crumbling. The southern half is Makuti Town, a dense, lively neighbourhood of houses with reed roofs, where most of the island's people live.\r\n\r\nAt the northern tip stands the Fortress of S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o, built in the 16th century and one of the oldest European forts in sub-Saharan Africa. Next to it, the tiny Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Baluarte, from 1522, is thought to be the oldest European building in the southern hemisphere.\r\n\r\nThe island is a UNESCO World Heritage site and moves at a slow pace: kids swim off the jetties, dhows sail by and the call to prayer echoes over the rooftops.\r\n\r\nTwo or three nights is ideal for the Stone Town, the fortress, Makuti and a dhow trip to the beaches across the bay.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Airport transfer | Fly to Nampula, then 3\u20134 hours by chapa or transfer\r\nGetting around | Walk; tuk-tuks and bikes\r\nTransport app | None\r\nCurrency | Metical; bring cash from Nampula\r\nTap water | Drink bottled water\r\nTipping | Tip guides in Makuti\r\nLanguage | Portuguese and Makhuwa\r\nHow long to stay | Two to three nights\r\nBest area to stay | The Stone Town\r\nDress | Modest, especially in Makuti","hw_hub_city_areas_title":"Where to stay on Ilha de Mo\u00e7ambique","hw_hub_city_areas_intro":"Stay in the Stone Town, where most guesthouses are in restored colonial houses, close to the sights and restaurants.

The Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Baluarte, at the fort's edge, dates from 1522.\r\n\r\nThe Palace of S\u00e3o Paulo, once the governor's residence, is now a museum with furniture, paintings and objects from Portugal, India and China, showing the island's role in Indian Ocean trade. The Museum of Sacred Art, in a former hospital church, holds religious art, and the Maritime Museum displays finds from shipwrecks around the island.\r\n\r\nWander the Stone Town's streets to see the restored colonial buildings, the old customs house, the Church of the Miseric\u00f3rdia and the Indian and Arab merchant houses. Look out for the statue of Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es, the Portuguese poet who lived here.\r\n\r\nIn the south, Makuti Town is a maze of narrow lanes, reed-roofed houses and small shops.
