About Victoria
Victoria is the Seychelles capital, set on the northeast coast of Mahé Island, where Creole culture, tropical scenery and island life meet.
Colorful markets, granite peaks and palms give Victoria a serene, distinctly Creole atmosphere.
Little Ben Clock Tower and Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market anchor the town, while the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens and Arul Mihu Navasakthi Vinayagar Temple add nature and culture; Beau Vallon Beach lies nearby. April to May and October to November suit a visit, and five to ten days leaves time for Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, with Fish Curry at the market.
