What are the best things to do in Port Louis?

• First and foremost, enjoy the nature. Located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is all about white sand, palm trees and light breeze. Oftentimes compared to the garden of Eden on Earth, the island is home to a UNESCO biosphere reserve, where you can book an off-road safari or an on-foot hike with a guide from the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation.
• Take a trip to the imposing Le Morne Cultural Landscape. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries the bulky mountain that juts into the Indian Ocean served as a shelter to runaway slaves, or maroons. Among the mountain's inaccessible cliffs, the escaped slaves formed settlements in the caves. In the folklore and cultural tradition of Mauritius, Le Morne remains a symbol of the slaves’ fight for freedom.
• Walk around the city. Port Louis is a city perfect for exploring on foot. Walk by the waterfront and stop by the market for fresh fruit and street fruit, and take in all the architectural testimony to the city's multicultural histories from Hindu temples and mosques to old colonial villas.
• Discover the distinct and eclectic culinary scene of Port Louis. Here you will find traditional Indian, Chinese and European dishes reinterpreted and remixed. And, of course, the selection of seafood is exceptional.
