The Best Sight in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal and Durban

Background Illustration for Sights

By no means should you plan an entire vacation around Durban, because there is so much more to see beyond the city. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a stopover. To get the most from your visit, get ready to explore the Central Business District (CBD), which includes the Indian District; the Beachfront; and Berea and Morningside. If you're concerned about safety within the CBD, book tours through Tourist Junction.

BAT Centre

Victoria Embankment

This vibrant center is abuzz with artists and musicians. Most days—and some show nights—you can watch sculptors and painters at work, hear poetry readings, and see Africology (African teachings and traditions) dancers and musicians. The center is home to several intimate art galleries, a small conference center, a performance hall, a dance studio, art and music studios, a restaurant, a bar and outside deck, and shops selling local contemporary and traditional art, mostly from KwaZulu-Natal. The center contains a coffee bar overlooking the bay and shops that sell an excellent selection of high-quality African crafts, including fabrics and ceramics.
