After two years of closure due to rock slides and safety improvements, this spectacular, scenic drive is now reopen and we think it is a must for people visiting Cape Town.

V&A Waterfront V&A Waterfront

Despite the V&A Waterfront being a huge international tourist attraction and one of SA’s most visited destinations – the majority of all shoppers are locals and we think this “all in one” shopping experience just has to be experienced. It combines a marina and working harbour with world class eateries, hotels and shops alike. Make [...]

La Med La Med

For years Cape Town’s number one sundowner spot, though if you want peace and tranquility then this is not for you. Located between Clifton and Camps Bay overlooking the sea, it’s straight off the beach for people watching and the vibe.

Walk along the Sea Point promenade after work. Walk along the Sea Point promenade after work.

If you want to capture the heart and essence of real Cape Town, take time out to work along the sea front and see the mass of humanity jogging, “pramming”, walking, stumbling or sleeping along the way. There are people from every walk of life, literally doing their thing. We suggest you start at the [...]
