As the world gets ready for this year’s FIFA World Cup, South Africa’s host cities have been preparing stadiums and infrastructure to ensure that it will be a memorable, exciting experience for all. Durban is famous as a family-friendly coastal destination, and those who visit for World Cup matches can spend time at Durban’s beautiful beaches. Online resources on Durban’s World Cup homepage can provide visitors with information on accommodation as well as attractions around the city which can be enjoyed in-between games.


Why Choose Durban for the FIFA 2010 World Cup?

In addition to Durban’s solid reputation as a seaside destination, Durban is also sunny most of the year round, with a warm sea temperature even in winter. Due to the sub-tropical climate, Durban experiences most of its annual rainfall in the summer – since the games will be taking place in winter, visitors can expect clear skies for the most part. Games played at other venues around the country can be viewed at a Fan Fest situated right on the beach, so that fans can cool down in the water at half time or after the game.

 

Durban Accommodation for the FIFA World Cup

There is plenty of accommodation to go round for the FIFA World Cup games held in Durban. There are many B&B accommodations within close proximity to the new stadium, and there are hotels in the heart of the city as well as game lodges in the bush a little way out of Durban. Some homeowners have also made plans to go away for the duration of the World Cup, so that it is possible to rent out fully-furnished homes rather than stay at a hotel or game lodge.

 

Transportation around Durban for the World Cup

In preparation for the World Cup, Durban’s entire transport system has undergone a makeover to ensure that affordable, safe and efficient transport will be available for all. The newly-built King Shaka International Airport enables visitors to travel to other cities where games are being held, so that they can not only see all their favourite teams in action, but can also experience the unique treasures of South Africa’s individual cities. It will be simple for visitors to get around, as the new stadium and the location of the Fan Fest has been planned in such a way that these locations are within walking distance of most accommodation.


Explore Culturally Diverse Durban during FIFA 2010

Durban is a culturally diverse city, where visitors can enjoy traditional African fare in addition to the spicy fare offered by Durban’s large Indian community, along with more Mediterranean cuisine. The buzz from the games will be electrified and visitors can go out and party with the locals until the small hours. Via online resources, visitors can keep abreast of events happening in Durban for the duration of the World Cup, and can make the most of their stay.
