Durban city highlights

Places to visit if you are a first time visitor to Durban.

The coastline has been inhabited for centuries, so Durban's attractions have much to tell us about the city's history and the traditions of the Zulus, the warrior tribes that inhabited the area long before the invaders arrived. No description of Durban's attractions is complete without mentioning the Thousand Hills Valley, the Chaka Land Ethnographic Complex, and the Zulu village of Dumazulu.

As for the history of the city itself, a map of Durban with Durban attractions recommends checking out the park to the fort ruins, the National Museum of Natural History, and museums of old buildings, natural sciences, and the Center for African Art.

The Valley of a Thousand Hills

Flora and fauna lovers bring back gorgeous photos of Durban's attractions taken at Fitzsimmons Reptile Park, the botanical gardens, the dolphinarium, and uShaka Marine World Park, which houses the world's fifth-largest aquarium.

Here in Durban is Africa's largest and first Hindu temple, Sri Ambalavaanar Alayam. Christians also have their place of worship, St. Paul's Church, which is also listed on the Durban sightseeing map.

But even if you have not managed to find a map of Durban attractions with names, you can safely go to the coast, where the famous "Golden Mile" is located, where the British first settled, and before them landed Vasco do Gama. Today there are many hotels, restaurants, entertainment centers, including a large entertainment center Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World.
