Tulear's colonial style buildings, grand lanes and innumerable multi-coloured [[rickshaw]]s make a lasting impression on its visitors. In this almost always sunny town the locals prefer rickshaw transport over other transport options, as such, there are not many regular taxis or motorised cars in comparison to other cities of similar size and there are certainly no traffic jams. The result is an unusually unpolluted city well worth exploring for a couple of days.

While Tulear itself is missing a perfect swimming beach, [[Playa de la Batterie]] (close to the light tower), located approximately 4-kilometre walk north of town across some salt-production fields, may be worth visiting if not only for its scenery of large and beautiful sand dunes.
