Cathedral of St Mary and All Saints

The cathedral is situated at the corner of Nelson Mandela Avenue and Sam Nujoma Street, right across from Africa Unity Square. It is generally open to the public daily for prayer and quiet reflection, usually from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There is no entrance fee to visit the cathedral, but donations toward its maintenance are gratefully accepted. Regular church services are held throughout the week, with the main choral services taking place on Sunday mornings. The building is an active place of worship, so visitors are asked to dress modestly and remain silent if a service is in progress. The cathedral office can provide more information on the history of the building and its parish. While there are no formal tourist facilities like a cafe on-site, its central location means you are steps away from the city's best amenities.

As the cathedral is a sacred space, it is important to be respectful of people praying or attending services. If you wish to take photographs of the architecture or the stained glass, it is polite to ask for permission from the verger or at the parish office first; photography is generally not allowed during active services. The cathedral's location is in a busy part of the city, so be mindful of your personal belongings as you walk through the surrounding streets. If you enjoy religious music, try to coordinate your visit with a Sunday service to hear the choir and the impressive pipe organ. The stone walls provide a very cool environment, which can be a welcome relief during the hot months of October and November. Lastly, take a moment to explore the small chapels and memorials inside that honor figures from Zimbabwe’s history.

Reaching the cathedral is very easy due to its prominent location in the central business district. If you are staying at a central hotel like the Meikles, it is a mere five-minute walk across Africa Unity Square. For those coming from further away, any taxi or ride-hailing service like Vaya will know the "Anglican Cathedral" as a major landmark. If you are using public transport, almost all "kombis" (minibuses) entering the city center will drop you within a few blocks of the site. Simply ask to be let off near the Parliament building or Africa Unity Square. If you are driving yourself, parking can be difficult in this busy area, so it is often easier to park at a nearby shopping mall like Eastgate and walk a short distance to the cathedral entrance on Nelson Mandela Avenue.
