DESTINATIONS

When it comes to fun and entertainment, Cape Town is the mother of all cities. There really is no such thing as a dull moment if you’re in the heart of Cape Town’s city centre.

The City Centre is a relatively small area, which can easily be covered on foot. Take a short stroll down Adderley street to meet the Cape’s famous flower sellers, or wonder around Greenmarket Square, the city’s best-loved flea market.

The Pan African Market in Long Street is a must if you’re looking for curios and wares from all over Africa.

For a culture fix, be sure to visit the District Six Museum, a heritage project that seeks to serve the interests of the victims of the various forms of forced removals that occurred in District Six, the larger city of Cape Town and in other parts of South Africa during the 60’s.

The Gold of Africa Museum focuses on exquisite gold-inspired artworks and hosts fantastic exhibitions. This is an absolutely must see.

The City Centre also boasts loads of fantastic restaurants and swanky bars offering live jazz.
