Port Louis has become an open-air gallery: dozens of murals by local and international artists cover the walls of Chinatown and the streets around Bourbon Street, from Chinese-inspired designs to abstract art. At the Caudan Waterfront, a lane hung with colourful umbrellas is the city's favourite photo spot. Combine with the market for a half day.
