Once at the crossroads of the African and Arabian trade routes, the island of Mauritius has a diverse cultural history. Port Louis, the capital city, is the perfect blend of modern and colonial.
Its unique hybrid of architectural styles is a product of Dutch, French, and British settlement, with further influences from India and East Africa.
You can stroll through bustling outdoor markets, enjoy the Caudan Waterfront, or visit one of the many museums. The vibrant art scene is captured in the aesthetic Blue Penny Museum.
