This is usually the first stop tourists make. Victoria has established itself as the commercial hub of the country and it is a small wonder, where walking through the streets during the rush hour traffic is much like trying to make it past a swarm of hungry bees. That being said, the city has a lot to offer in terms of architectural intrigue and the like. What can be called 'Old Victoria' is essentially the stretch of land at the bottom of the mountains and skirts narrow streets with unconventional pavements which might help you over storm drains in one instance and into a gutter the next. There are also some sophisticated constructions from the French Colonial era which are pleasant attractions especially for tourists with a love for vintage buildings in their original state. Some other spots that are a must-see are the Sir Selwyn Clarke Market, the Seychelles National Museum, the Clock Tower and the Botanical Gardens.
