Perched atop a hill, this 19th-century basalt fortress offers a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of Port Louis harbor, the Moka mountain range, and the Champ de Mars (the oldest horse racing track in the Southern Hemisphere). You can walk the stone ramparts and see the historic cannons.
A beautiful open-air chapel and shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. You will climb the 82 stone-cut steps through terraced flower gardens to reach the marble statue. It is a peaceful sanctuary offering a different, stunning perspective of the city below.
Dive into the "Heart of Mauritius" at the Central Market to see exotic fruits, spices, and local street food like Alouda.
A short walk takes you to the modern Caudan Waterfront for premium shopping, the famous "Umbrella Street," and a chance to see the harbor.
One of the oldest botanical gardens in the Southern Hemisphere. You will see the world-famous Giant Water Lilies (Victoria amazonica), over 80 species of palm trees, and the spice garden. It is a lush, cooling escape filled with history.
Set in an authentic former sugar factory, this interactive museum explains how sugar built Mauritius. The visit concludes with a refined tasting session of 12 varieties of unrefined sugar and local rums.
