Durbanites are proud of their state-of-the-art stadium, constructed for the 2010 World Cup. Resembling a giant basket, it seats 56,000 people, and its arch was inspired by the ‘Y’ in the country’s flag. Visitors can head up to the arch in a SkyCar , puff up on foot (550 steps) on an Adventure Walk or plunge off the 106m arch on the giant Big Swing . All options offer great views of Durban.
Cafes line a section of the stadium base; from here, too, you can hire a bike or walk to the beachfront on the pedestrian promenade.
