Beira is the second largest city in Mozambique and is an important commercial centre. It has a large port used for import and export from Mozambique and neighbouring Zimbabwe and Malawi. It is a compact city and at one time a popular holiday resort. Nowadays, only the remains of it’s former glory can be seen. However there are signs that it is gradually being redeveloped for tourism. Most of the city can be explored on foot.
