The Victoria Street Market is an indoor bazaar (locally called a flea market) that remains a hub of activity throughout the year. It offers everything from Indian spices and incenses, to fresh fruits and vegetables, fabrics, ceramics, and arts and crafts. When you enter the multi-coloured building, you're immediately hit with an assortment of smells: a mixture of curries and incense wafting through the air with the catcall of vendors urging tourists to "come in, and just have a look". The top floor is popular with international visitors due to the collection of souvenirs, jewellery, fabrics, and crafts.

This is a magnificent garden’s to have a picnic in. It is well kept and well looked after. It is the oldest surviving botanic gardens in Africa! There are plenty of shady spots, and little hideaway area’s for that little bit of privacy! The gardens are spacious and lusciously green, so it doesn’t feel overcrowded and packed to capacity- even on a sunny Durban Saturday! There are restrictions (no bikes, ball games, gazebos, umbrellas etc.) as it is not a park, but instead a garden to sit back, relax and learn about our great outdoors! The gardens have opening and closing times depending on the season- check the website for details.
