A CLOSER LOOK
Meet the place.
Known locally as La Citadelle, Fort Adelaide is a landmark on the rise above central Port-Louis. From this part of the city, the relationship between the harbour, the streets and the enclosing mountains becomes easier to understand.
Treat the climb as a separate choice, especially on a hot day. A compact-looking map can conceal slopes and exposed sections. If you add the fort to a city visit, leave room for the approach and the return rather than simply counting the time at the viewpoint.
Before you go
Verify current access before setting out. The uphill approach is not part of our short waterfront itinerary.
