Driving and parking in the area
The central plateau is the most built-up part of Mauritius: traffic is heavy at rush hour, especially towards Port Louis in the morning and the other way in the evening. Leave before 7 am or after 9.30 am if you can, and allow a margin on flight day.
In the town centre, parking is often paid or limited, especially on market days: use car parks and authorised spots. The plateau is cooler and rainier than the coasts: drive carefully on wet roads.
