City Centre

Metropolitan Durban, or eThekweni in Zulu, is the largest, most vibrant city on the East Coast of South Africa. There is a harbor and an international airport, both conveniently located close to the city. The city center bustles during the day and, amidst the museums and civic buildings of colonial heritage, you will find yourself at the heart of a truly African city. It is a "cultural curry" of different communities, including British, Indian and Zulu. At night, however, the city center empties and can be unsafe, as each community returns to their distinct suburb. You will find the colonial heritage of the city and a distinctly African pulse concentrated in the small area between Aliwal and Gardiner streets and on the parallel roads of Smith, West and Pine (Tourist Information office is situated on Pine Road).
