Activity itinerary

Le Caudan Waterfront
  • 30m
Built around Port Louis’ historic harbour, Caudan sits where maritime trade helped shape Mauritius into a multicultural crossroads. Today it blends modern leisure with the capital’s seafaring identity—views over the port, easy access to nearby heritage sites, and a lively atmosphere that reflects the island’s mix of cultures and commerce.
Blue Penny Museum
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
A compact introduction to Mauritius’ defining chapters—navigation routes, colonial rivalries, and how the island became a strategic stop in the Indian Ocean. Its most famous icons are the rare “Post Office” stamps, but the museum’s broader value is how it connects objects and stories to the making of modern Mauritius.
Aapravasi Ghat
  • 45m
One of the most significant heritage sites in the Indian Ocean: the preserved immigration depot where indentured labourers were received after slavery ended in the British Empire. The site is central to the story of how Mauritius’ population, languages, religions, and cultural traditions evolved, making it a powerful place to reflect on identity and resilience.
Central Market
  • 30m
More than a shopping stop, the market is a living snapshot of everyday Mauritian culture—food traditions, medicinal herbs, craft practices, and the rhythms of the capital. Historically, markets like this grew alongside the port economy and remain key spaces where communities meet, negotiate, and share tastes from across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Place d'Armes (Pass by)
This palm-lined ceremonial avenue is one of Port Louis’ most recognizable colonial-era spaces—designed to impress, organise, and project authority. It also serves as a modern civic corridor where parades, public gatherings, and daily city life reflect the capital’s shift from colonial administration to a contemporary Mauritian identity.
The Bank of Mauritius Museum
  • 30m
A window into the island’s economic and social history through currency—how trade, sugar, shipping, and global connections influenced daily life. Coins and banknotes reveal political transitions, national symbols, and how Mauritius moved from colonial systems toward its own institutions and nationhood.
Natural History Museum
  • 30m
An essential chapter in the Mauritius story: the island’s unique biodiversity and what was lost—and learned—through human settlement and ecological change. A key highlight is the iconic Dodo skeleton, a powerful symbol of Mauritius’ natural heritage and one of the world’s most famous extinction stories. The museum provides clear context on endemic species, early accounts of the island, and why conservation remains so important today.
Les Jardins de la Compagnie
  • 20m
Originally established in the colonial period as a cultivated garden space linked to administration and order, this park remains a quiet cultural landmark in the city centre. Surrounded by historic buildings, it offers a pause to imagine an earlier Port Louis—when the capital’s identity was shaped by empire, trade, and the everyday lives of diverse communities.
Port Louis (Pass by)
In addition to these main highlights, the app unlocks many other points of interest (heritage details, street-level stories, viewpoints, and local recommendations). Visitors can customise the route based on interests—spend longer on museums and history, focus on culture and local life, or keep it lighter with shopping and scenic stops—while the GPS tour continues to guide the experience seamlessly.
