Durban:
South Africa's favorite playground and the busiest port in Africa, Durban began life as a remote trading outpost. Today the sunny city is a popular year-round holiday destination, prized for its balmy climate and superb surfing and swimming beaches. Although shopping, restaurants and nightlife are geared for the holidaymaker, Durban is also now positioning itself as the conference capital of South Africa - with its International Conference Centre ranking amongst the top facilities in the world.
Shopping is high on Durban's list of priorities and there's plenty to choose from. The Gateway Theatre of Shopping offers a grand combination of shopping and entertainment, and is the jewel of Durban's retail crown. The Pavilion also offers an exceptional shopping experience in a Victorian-look building, and The Workshop complex was created in the shell of Durban's original railway workshop. For a taste of real Durban, there's the Victoria Street Market, offering African and Indian wares.
