You’ll find art galleries, boutiques and coffee roasters, but the highlight is the Saturday morning produce market that’s become a ritual for local foodies. Arrive before 9 a.m. to avoid crowds. Read more.
Pack a picnic, take the cable car up (free on your birthday), head up the most beautiful mountain on earth. Hike, find a peaceful place with spectacular views, relax and enjoy this beauty!
The V&A Waterfront is one of the most exciting shopping destinations in South Africa. Boasting a wide range of restaurants and stores and surrounded by the stunning Waterfront this is a shoppers dream
Beautifully classic Dutch wine estate. Tasting is a steal at R40 pp. Don't miss the wonderful shiraz and pony up for the Vin Constance, one of the best dessert wines I've ever had.
Climb for the sunset! Most beautiful view. Make sure you have friends and flashlights for the dark climb down:)
Chippie is very good and for coffee and a sweet treat there's Knead bakery. You will NOT go hungry! Blustery winds but still breathtakingly beautiful. Train station steps from the beach.
All of the tour guides are former political prisoners; very cool! Be sure to buy tickets well in advance online (I bought mine before I even arrived in Cape Town). Tour takes 4 hours with return.
Excellent cocktail bar "hidden" behind the Honest Chocolate shop. It's not so secret anymore (it seems to be full of tourists these days rather than in-the-know locals, but still worth a visit!).
A local introduced me to this place. Friendly service and delicious flavors—try the chocolate tahini and speculoos!
