Maseru Travel Guide
Lesotho
Maseru is Lesotho’s capital and largest city, with a population of 118,355. It sits in the country’s western lowlands, close to the border with South Africa, and is Lesotho’s main urban centre.
Most international visitors arrive through Moshoeshoe International Airport, which serves Maseru. Lesotho is landlocked, so there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres of the city. For swimming or coastal scenery, travellers need to look beyond Lesotho.
