Mauritius shopping is one of the interesting things to do on the island. The shopping scene in Mauritius includes duty free retail stores, traditional markets and jewelry.
The advantage of Mauritius shopping is the sheer diversity of products that may be bought. The articles that may be purchased range from branded goods to traditional commercial art. The traditional art is prized due to the unique art form that is the hallmark of Mauritius. The Le Caudan Waterfront Arts and Crafts Market in the Mauritius capital city of Port Louis is a reputed traditional market selling baskets, model ships, paintings and sculptures among others. Corals and sea shells are also sold. Bargaining is possible.
Branded products are sold at the many duty free shops that are scattered all over the island country. Consumer electronic products like DVD's could be bought at substantially lower prices compared to the prevailing market rate in other countries. Perfumes are also among the highly demanded products.
Shopping in Mauritius is spiced up by the presence of traditional markets and shopping centers. Traditional shopping areas like the Port Louis Market attract both tourists as well as the local people. The prospective customer may choose between stalls selling luscious tropical fruit and shops hawking spices and medicinal plants. The Quatre Bornes Market sells a wide variety of textile products at eminently affordable prices. Every major settlement in Mauritius has its own unique marketplace that sells products specific to the region. A number of modern shopping arcades complete the consumer scene in Mauritius. Some of the places of Mauritius, where markets are located, are Grand Baie, Goodlands and Rise Hill.
