Port Louis

Spectacular under the peaks of imposing mountains, Port Louis makes an impression from the plateau with its frenetic center on the ocean in a frieze that seems to defy perspective. A wonderful experience.

Despite being the national capital, the main economic center, and the largest city in the country, Port Louis occupies a rather strange place in modern Mauritian psyche. The more affluent classes have traditionally lived outside the city, especially in the towns of Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes, Moka, and Vacoas. This trend continues today, to the extent that Port Louis (the final 's' is usually silent) can sometimes seem like a city without a middle class, without a center, and a ghost town after dark. This impression is totally false, however – Port Louis has a lot to offer, and anyone who only visits the fantastic Caudan Waterfront will get a very bland impression of the national capital. The hustle and bustle of the streets, the famous city market, Chinatown, and the collection of beautifully preserved colonial buildings make Port Louis much more than just a place to shop away from the beach.

La Possession

Durban

A lively city that stretches along a strip of yellow-brown sand, the third largest tourist resort in South Africa.

The waterfront, with its expanse of skyscraper hotels and snack bars, remains a symbol of the city, and the city center, studded with some grandiose colonial buildings and fascinating Art Deco architecture, pulsates at a distinctly African rhythm. Place with the largest concentration of people of Indian origin in the country, Durban also boasts places, sounds and smells typical of the subcontinent. While the beach is always the favorite place, many visitors visit the suburbs, crammed with accommodation, shopping centers, funky bars and elegant restaurants.
