Hello Staying in Port Louis next week, can you tell me how safe is it and any general advice..thank you..Greetings from Ireland

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Hello John! Port Louis is pretty safe compared to many other cities. I guess the general street smart rules apply though - don't flash smart watches and phones around etc (particularly late at night). Otherwise, I really haven't heard of anyone getting into trouble there. Good Luck!

[@videoraver]

She said the fruit and vegetable market is open every Wednesday and Saturday. The street food market with gato piment and dhall puri is open everyday.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Thanks for this info. I think what she meant to state is that Wednesday and Saturday there is more fruit and veg on sale than clothes and other goods.

[@artevix]

I won't advise you to go. You will have to pay more than MUR 150,000 for quarantine and then spend more money for some vacation. The situation is very tensed here. Maybe you have to pray so that Mauritius can be in a better situation so that you go for vacation.

[@88zxzx]

Must have been told so by her Mauritian guide! no surprise here! In fact there has never been a reported 'pick pocket' incident in that market. To be cautious is one thing. To make gratuitous allegations is another thing. This is not London or other towns in UK.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Apologies if you find my comment gratuitous. I was merely following instructions from someone who has immense knowledge of the market. Crime is on the increase everywhere in the world I'm afraid.

Aaaah i hope you enjoyed our little island, if it was the 1st time there, i'm a bit sad that you didn't get to know how lovely and vibrant, Mauritian markets were some years ago. Still not bad nowadays tbh. Make some good friends there and they will prevent you from getting scammed and so on. Oh and i forgot to mention that there's a soup called "boulettes", this is also typical Mauritian food, although more on the Asian side of things.
