A newcomer's Durban weekend: choose a pace before choosing places

An introduction to Durban can be built around a comfortable pace rather than a long checklist of places. This thread invites weekend ideas that explain who the plan suits and what needs checking before someone sets out. A thoughtful half-day can be enough. Start with the group's interests and the amount of time available. Choose one main activity and one optional addition. Look up the current official opening, booking and access information for each location. Include how the group will travel between stops, where they can pause and what would replace an outdoor activity if needed. Separate your own recent experience from information you have heard second-hand. If you describe accessibility, name the features you checked rather than promising that a place suits everyone. Leave private meeting arrangements out of public comments. How would you introduce someone to the city in an unhurried afternoon? Share a plan, its intended audience and one practical detail a visitor should confirm.
