What to Know About Port Louis

Key Facts

Port Louis is the capital city of Mauritius, serving as the country's political, economic, and cultural hub. Located on the northwestern coast of the main island, it occupies a strategic position along the Indian Ocean, nestled between the Moka Mountain Range to the south and the expansive harbor that gives the city its name. As the smallest district in Mauritius by area, covering approximately 42.7 square kilometers, Port Louis paradoxically hosts the nation's highest population density, with over 150,000 residents in the urban area and nearly 40,000 within the city proper. The city is administratively divided into 4 suburbs—Port Louis Central, Port Louis North, Port Louis West, and Port Louis South—each with distinct residential and commercial characteristics. Founded by French Governor Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais in 1735, Port Louis has evolved from a colonial trading post into a modern financial center while preserving its historic architecture in areas like the Aapravasi Ghat UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's tropical climate and multicultural population contribute to its vibrant atmosphere, with Chinese pagodas, Muslim mosques, and Hindu temples coexisting alongside colonial-era buildings.
