Victoria
Having the dubious honour of being the smallest capital city in
the world, Victoria can also be considered one of the most charming
and quaint, easily explored on foot. The best place to soak up the
friendly atmosphere is at the busy daily market (closed on
Sundays), where local crafts are on sale along with fish, fruit and
vegetables. A hint of French and British colonial days still
remains, reflected in buildings like the courthouse and main post
office. Among the colourful houses there is also a cathedral and a
clock tower built as a copy of the one housing Big Ben in London.
The city is also something of an art centre, and works by local
artists are popular buys at local galleries.
Information & Facts
Language
Creole, English and French are all spoken in the
Seychelles.
Money
The Seychelles currency is the Rupee (SCR), divided into 100
cents. The country's foreign exchange regulations require visitors
to pay for all services provided by hotels, guesthouses and
self-catering enterprises, as well as things like car hire,
entrance fees to parks and reserves, scuba diving and boat charter,
in major foreign currency notes (Euros are the most widely used) or
by credit card. Taxis and restaurant bills (not connected to
hotels) are payable in foreign or Seychelles Rupees. Rupees can
only be used in local shops, markets, and bars. Credit cards are
widely welcomed throughout the Seychelles. Money can be exchanged
at banks and the airport on Mahé, or at hotels, and banks process
travellers cheques. To change Rupees back into foreign currency on
departure requires the official receipt from the initial
transaction. ATMs are available at major banks on Mahé, Praslin and
La Digue.
