Durban is the third-largest city in South Africa and the best place to enjoy a lively seaside holiday vacation. The city has quite a long beachfront decorated with high rising snack bars and hotels which remain as the landmarks of Durban. At the heart of the city are colonial buildings with a fascinating architecture that gives the city a historical atmosphere. Most Indian immigrants to South Africa have made Durban their home. Even though the city has one of the best beach fronts most tourists are cautious about traveling to Durban due to the increasing crime rate where criminals are based in the shopping malls, stylish eateries, and even funky bars and prey on unsuspecting tourists.
Tourists traveling at the city’s beachfront prefer using the rickshaw but the city undoubtedly has a well-developed transport system. Such means of travel are simply used for mere amusement as the city is a place of utmost enjoyment. The Durban Botanical Gardens are just awesome and you might just be lucky to find cultural weddings taking place here.
