Long Street in Cape Town has an irresistible ambience and irrepressible spirit. It stretches out over more than 20 blocks in Cape Town’s central business district.

These guys take a moment to chill from the sweaty shuffle of clubs that thump till the early hours of the morning.

Long Street has much to offer the culinary enthusiast, from small coffee shops to top-class restaurants. Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Cape Malay fragrances fill the air, luring hungry visitors and passers-by.

Long Street’s vibrant night life kicks into full gear quite late. The cosmopolitan mix includes plenty of tourists who mingle comfortably with locals.
