Top Five Experiences
Cape Town Street Culture
The city’s unconventional mix of cultures and influences have all played their role in establishing local culture. From the coffee-shop hipsters to those who express their ancestry through food and song – the city is a blend of people-flavours.
Art Made Public
Cape Town is a mecca of creativity and design, and these industries form a large part of the city’s economic activity. Perhaps as a reflection of its own natural beauty and diversity, Cape Town is crammed with art galleries, informal street art, great urban design, music, theatre and spontaneous expressions of creativity.
Monkeybiz Beaded Art
Monkeybiz is a non-profit organisation that provides unemployed women with the tools and materials to make traditionally beaded creations such as eclectic dolls, badges and curios. The company was established in 2000 in an effort to create jobs and today it is one of the most recognisable upliftment projects in the country.
The Rhythm of Cape Town
The rhythms of Cape Town are as complex and interesting as her multicultural people. Most of all, the Mother City is known for its unique take on jazz and hip hop, although a surfeit of music continues to pour out of the city’s many musical genres.
Cape Town Theatre
Cape Town’s theatre scene is diverse, from Shakespeare to opera and ballet to local and international one-man shows, comedy shows, kids’ shows and musicals.
Cape Town's Food Scene
Cape Town is a foodie’s delight, with influences from every corner of the globe served up in restaurants and cafés across the city, in among traditional South African favourites.
The Cape Winelands
South African wines are a feature on wine lists across the globe, and those from the vast and beautiful Cape Winelands are the best-known among them.
A Moveable Feast
Food and wine events take place across the metropole, and play an important role in cultivating culinary Cape Town – not only to foodie locals, but also to visiting friends from afar – and have aided in shaping a space on the global food map for the Western Cape.
Cape Town's Markets
The concepts of community, decreasing our carbon footprint and awareness of the distance from farm to fork have resulted in the emergence of a robust food-market subculture in Cape Town.
Cape Town's Café Culture
Cape Town has a big coffee shop culture. Some spots are quaintly old-fashioned and others hip and happening – either way, they’re perfect for people-watching!
Experience Golfing in Cape Town
Naturally beautiful Cape Town is the ideal playground for golfers. The metropole offers several highly-rated courses, with further golfing locations sprinkled across the Cape’s green surrounds.
Kiteboarding along Cape Town's Coast
The thrill of harnessing the power of the wind is what makes kiteboarding a must-do for the adrenalin seeker. Blaauwberg beach is truly the best option for wind and kite surfing.
The Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon
Coined by many as “the world’s most beautiful marathon”, the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon attracts around 20 000 local and international athletes.
Explore Table Mountain's Hoerikwaggo Trail
The Hoerikwaggo Trail is a five-day, four-night hiking trail designed to link Cape Point to Table Mountain. A tour guide is a must for this journey as it covers 75km of mountain terrain between overnight stops.
Cape Town's Dragon Boat Fiestas
Dragon boat racing is a sport steeped in history, with its roots dating back to an ancient folk ritual of southern China, and as a modern-day sport calls for immense focus and teamwork.
Bar Hopping – Cape Town's Coolest Watering Holes
Cool bars, pool bars, sports bars, rooftop bars, old-school bars, hipster bars and more; Cape Town offers bars of all kinds for every taste…
New Year’s Eve in Cape Town – NYE
New Year’s Eve in Cape Town is an absolute delight! Cape Town is arguably the most beautiful city in the world and New Year’s Eve has become the city’s biggest party night.
Summer Parties – Cape Town’s Best Beach Parties
Cape Town summer nights are long and fabulous, doors are always open and views spectacular. The city is in a good mood and tanned bodies and relaxed, happy faces let you know you are on holiday.
A True Rainbow Nation – The Pink SA Guide
The Pink SA Guide has been designed with local and international travellers in mind. It is a guide to the best accommodation, restaurants, bars and clubs, sightseeing, entertainment and arts venues, as well as country getaways that are either gay-owned, gay-managed or are truly gay-friendly.
Sounds of Summer – Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts
The Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts are a series of live, outdoor music concerts at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden amphitheatre that take place on Sunday evenings from
the end of November until the beginning of April the following year and features some of the biggest South African bands.
Step off the Summit – Abseil off Table Mountain
Step off the top of one of the World’s New7Wonders of Nature: Table Mountain stands at 1000 metres above sea level and offers a controlled descent of 112 metres to one of the world’s most beautiful cities!
Blooming Marvellous – Flowergazing on the West Coast
Between mid-August and mid-September every year, Cape Town’s West Coast – stretching from Blaauwberg into Namaqualand – transforms into a kaleidoscope of colour as indigenous flowers burst into bloom to carpet the landscape.
Adventure through South Africa – Dirty Boots Adventure Travel Guide
The Dirty Boots Adventure Travel Guide offers the ultimate guide to the enormous variety of adventure activities and tours available in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.
