The capital city of the Maldives, Malé, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Most people will just arrive at the airport and transfer on to their resort by speedboat or seaplane. However, there is plenty to intrigue in the capital itself. Highlights include the impressive fish market where you can see local fishermen bringing in their catch of the day to sell, the fruit and vegetable market, the stunning 17th Century Mosque constructed using coral, and the National Museum. A growing number of guesthouses offer an alternative to the luxury island resorts for those travellers who wish to experience a bit more of the local lifestyles of the Maldivian people.
