Tourist Information about Durban
Durban, a colorful, vibrant city located in South Africa, is more commonly known as South Africa's playground. It is also known by its Zulu name, eThikwini, which is a word with no clear origins, but is generally held to be "lagoon". While it is considered as one of Africa's best places of holiday, Durban is also home to one of Africa's busiest ports. With a population of 3.1 million, it has also surpassed Cape Town by becoming the second largest city in the country. It is home to diverse cultures such as the East, the West, and Europe. Durban is a place that has balmy weather whatever the season, making it the perfect getaway or vacation for you and your family. Its mile-long stretch of hotel establishments is called "The Golden Mile". If Cape Town remains to be Eurocentric and Johannesburg is reclaiming its African traditions, then Durban is an exciting blend of both Europe and Africa. It has the best of both worlds indeed. Durban offers one of the world's largest aquariums, a host of interesting cultural activities such as live African music, museums, bird parks, zoos, and so much more. If tourists are more into the adult entertainment side of things, that is, gambling, there are plenty of casinos to choose from as well. |
