In the heart of the city, the bustling Marine Parade, which fronts the beach, is lined with an excellent selection of shops, bars and restaurants. If you’re feeling adventurous, perhaps take a ride by rickshaw - a fun and inexpensive alternative to taxis. To the west of the city centre, the vibrant Victorian Street Market offers an array of intriguing goods such as silks and gold-threaded saris, whilst the impressive Durban Art Gallery houses a collection of comtemporary South African works including a cockroach display and reconstructed dodo!
