Want to know some of the standout things to do in Cape Town? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...
1. Stand on Top of Table Mountain
Don’t just snap a quick picture of this national icon and head back to the beach. Instead of taking the cable car, stretch your legs and thoroughly explore the whole of this beautiful area.
2. Eat in the Bo-Kaap Quarter
Why not try some traditional Malay cuisine in a traditional historical quarter of Cape Town? The district offers all manner of different types of eatery, from neighborhood delis to top-class restaurants – all at affordable prices.
3. Be Bowled Over by Boulders Beach
Whilst Noordehoek is probably the more idyllic stretch of sand, Boulders Beach offers something a little bit different. Sun-bathing whilst hundreds of Jackass Penguins waddle around you is certainly a unique experience!
4. Take a Tour of Robben Island
This island, best known for holding Nelson Mandela, is historically and emotionally rooted in modern South African history. It would be a crime to miss touring this prison.
5. Go Shopping in Greenmarket Square
The V&A Waterfront is pretty, but on the pricey side. Travelers on a budget, however, will love bargaining in Greenmarket Square’s flea market, and its trendy surrounding area.
