Entertainment
Cape Town’s Long Street throngs with hip and happening party people at night. Restaurants, clubs, pubs and lounges attract the young at heart to sample a vibrant mix of entertainment options.
You can’t miss the massive Cape Town Stadium during the day, or at night when its gentle glow creates an irresistible allure, attracting soccer sports lovers and concert-goers to its vicinity, especially when there's a big match or show on.
More culturally orientated entertainment in the Mother City may be found at the Milnerton Playhouse and Spoken Word at Zula Bar, but if the ka-ching of the casino is more your thing, GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World is where you need to be.
There are two circus venues also located in Cape Town: the South African National Circus and the Zip-Zap Circus, where visitors may discover latent trapeze or high-wire talents.
