Durban’s coastal landscape features the Golden Mile promenade and the architectural arch of Moses Mabhida Stadium. Historical landmarks include the neo-Baroque City Hall and the Juma Mosque, the Southern Hemisphere's largest mosque. Cultural sites like the Phansi Museum showcase Zulu art, while the Victoria Street Market reflects the city's Indian heritage. To the north, the Umhlanga coastline is defined by its iconic lighthouse and the sculptural Whalebone Pier, situated near the expansive Gateway Theatre of Shopping.
