The Indian and colonial influences in this South African beach city can’t be missed, and the blend of cultures and architecture makes Durban unique in South Africa. Durban’s Golden Mile is a destination for surfers, families and fisherman, due to its blend of natural beauty and modern resort. Major-city attractions abound, making this a good destination for families and couples alike.

Phoenix Settlement

Reviewed By ArdentTraveller - Bengaluru, India

We were super lucky that Ela Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's grand daughter was there for some work. She was so down to earth and intelligent and learning that we are from India, took us around the place herself. Fabulous visit.

Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple

Reviewed By 808priscillac - London, United Kingdom

We went to eat the delicious very affordable pure vegetarian food in the restuarant below the temple. We also went into the temple for a few minutes to enjoy the peace and tranquility after what was a hectic drive to get there. There is also seating in the garden and around the moat, to relax in the evening, which we did after the meal. Just off the main motorway and visible from the motorway so you can not get lost.

Durban City Hall

Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States

This beautifully restored colonial Edwardian style city hall building that is patterned after the city hall of Belfast Ireland. It is the pillar of Durban. The building locally also know as the "eThekwini City Hall". It also houses the Durban Science Museum, public library and Durban art gallery. The exterior details of this building are amazing to see and well worth a visit for photos and a selfie. It is without a doubt one of Durban's most beautiful buildings. BOTTOM LINE: Inside the science museum, it features a super rare Dodo bird skeleton and an Egyptian mummy. Pretty cool. This building was well worth the investment this community made back in 1905. What lasts over a 100 years! It is beautiful. A "MUST SEE" when visiting Durban. Out front is a statue of "Queen Victoria & Empress" that was sculpted in 1897. MY RATING: 10/10.
