Dangers & annoyances
Port Louis is a city with a big underclass and as such is not safe at night. After dark all travellers should stick to well-lit main streets and avoid Company Gardens, favoured hang out of pimps and drug dealers. If you don’t know your exact route, take a taxi. During the daytime it’s a very safe city but beware of pickpockets anywhere, although particularly in the market and around the bus stations.
