Central Market
The central market is located in Port Louis, the capital and is place that you should not miss. Not only will you find some local crafts- both from the main island Mauritius but also from Rodrigues. However you should be careful of local sellers as they might try to sell some items at some really high price with tourists. Try to look around first in order to see if you could find the same item at some cheaper prices.
Quatre Bornes Market
This is a place that is really recommended for people that are looking for some cheap items in Mauritius. Again you should make sure that you shop around to find the best deals if you do not want to pay a too high price. It is also advised that you keep your belongings safely if you do not want to become easy prey for some pickpockets.

Black River Gorges
This is a place that will really suit those that are more into hiking. There are different tracks that will suit people with different abilities. Some tracks may demand that you have a guide while some other tracks are clearly marked and should not be difficult to attempt on your own. Be sure that you take precautions though especially against mosquitoes if you do not want to be tattooed?

Trou aux Cerfz
This is actually the crater of an ancient volcano that offers some really great scenery. This is a place that you should not miss if you are really fond of nature and nice landscapes. Located in the center of the island, in the town of Curepipe, this is definitely a place that you should not miss if you are going to visit the central part of the island.
There are more places that you could visit on the island but the ones shown are rarely shown in tourist brochure and should be really interesting to consider if you want to try something new when visiting the island.
