Victoria

Victoria (Seychelles) needs 2 days: the Sir Selwyn Clarke market and the small local Big Ben on one, and a boat trip to nearby islands on the other. April-May brings the transition between monsoons, with less wind. It's expensive, reflecting Seychelles' positioning as a luxury destination. It's one of the smallest capitals in the world, with just a few streets, and serves mainly as a logistical base for reaching the beaches and nature reserves that are the archipelago's real draw.
