Durban South Africa

Durban is a South African city located in the KwaZulu-Natal province, situated along the Indian Ocean. With a population of 3.5 million, it is the third largest city in the country, following Johannesburg and Cape Town. Durban is often referred to as South Africa's 'playground' due to its year-round warm climate that encourages outdoor activities. It's also known as 'Surf City' for its exceptional bathing and surfing beaches that extend from Durban harbor in the south to the upscale neighborhood of Umhlanga in the north. A wide paved promenade provides access to the best of these beaches – the Golden Mile – where joggers, cyclists, dog walkers, surfers, body boarders and walkers enjoy exercise during the early morning and late afternoon. Attractions include Segway tours, a city-viewing Sky Car and a bungee swing. Durban's culture is a blend of Indian, Zulu and post-colonial influences, which is evident in the city’s architecture and cuisine. Curries, seafood and fusion food are popular at beachfront restaurants, and coffee shops along Florida Road and Helen Joseph Road. Durban is the perfect destination for visitors.
