Founded in 1844, Port Louis Central Market is Mauritius’s oldest market and one of its most important. Behind its historic stone walls and ironwork, stalls sell fresh produce, spices, herbs, medicinal plants and goods used in religious rites.
Explore the market halls and nearby street-food and craft stalls for an everyday taste of the capital. Entry is free; food, souvenirs and other purchases are paid separately. A guided Aapravasi Ghat Heritage Trail that includes the market can be requested for groups of up to 20; ask the organiser about availability and price (booking: +230 217 7770).
Mornings are best for the working market; check current opening hours locally. Please ask before photographing vendors or shoppers. More about the heritage walk: https://aapravasi.govmu.org/aapravasi/?page_id=821
