📍 Destination Overview
Victoria, the Seychelles capital, sits on the north-east coast of Mahe and is one of the world's smallest capitals, compact yet diverse. The silver Jubilee Clock Tower stands downtown, while a colourful market buzzes with Creole life. Hindu temples, a mosque, a national museum and a botanical garden with coco de mer and giant tortoises complete the city, walkable in half a day.
