Top Things to do in Victoria
Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Victoria, Mahe Island
A day on foot is ample time to see Victoria, one of the smallest capitals in the world. Located on Mahe, one of the Seychelles' 115 granite and coral islands, Victoria is the republic's business and cultural hub. At its center sits the Victoria Clocktower, a national monument reminiscent of London's "Big Ben" that has kept ticking since 1903, unaffected by the modern glass and concrete development around it. Visit the local art galleries and craft markets to soak up the city's friendly charm.

The Mirante La Misere was the best place that I found during my recent trip to obtain peerless views out over vast swathes of Mahe and adjoining Islands! Bring your camera and/or Smartphone. You will certainly be kept busy snapping!

A spectacular view of the southern part of Mahe Island from this place. Also it is a historical location for Seychelles people where the first school was built here for slave children to study and queen Victoria ll visited here during colonial era.

This is worth a visit at anytime during the day though the spectacle is better in the morning, and Saturday morning is when you can see the most stalls. The produce on sale is fish, fruits, vegetables, spices, some crafts, local honey and preserves. You can go to look and take pictures or buy some fruit to go along with during the day. It takes at most an hour to see everything. If you want to take local products home be a bit picky and ask who made them and where, they all have a story. Probably the best pictures you will get will be the fish and octopus.

This is one of the largest church complexes in Victoria. It has been around since 1936 and has been well kept and refurbished over the years. The interior is quite nice with many stained glass windows alternating between old style and modern art. At the rear of the building is a beautiful single person spiral staircase to access to loft (closed to the public). BOTTOM LINE: Very much loved seeing this historical cathedral and its grounds. Lots of natural light everywhere. Very well maintained and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. RECOMMEND SITE to visit when exploring Victoria. MY RATING: 9/10.
