Walking
If you're in the Durban city center, start by heading towards the beachfront. Walk down Smith Street until you reach the promenade. Once you hit the promenade, turn left (south) and walk along the beachfront. Continue walking for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach Snell Parade. Turn right onto Snell Parade, and MINITOWN will be on your left at 114 Snell Parade, North Beach.
Public Transport - Bus
From Durban city center, take the 'Durban Metro' bus service towards North Beach. Look for buses that have 'North Beach' on their destination board. Board the bus and enjoy the ride; it should take about 15-20 minutes. Once you get off at the North Beach stop, walk towards Snell Parade, and you will see MINITOWN located at 114 Snell Parade on your left.
Public Transport - Rickshaw
If you prefer a more unique experience, you can take a rickshaw from various points in the city center or beachfront area. Simply tell the rickshaw driver you want to go to MINITOWN at 114 Snell Parade, North Beach. The ride should take around 10 minutes depending on traffic.
