Discover Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs

About the Area

Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs offer visitors a chance to experience a different side of the city. Often overshadowed by the more tourist-friendly areas of Cape Town, the Southern Suburbs are home to a diverse range of attractions, from historic landmarks to outdoor activities.

While the downtown area is bustling and vibrant, the Southern Suburbs are more laid-back and mellow. However, there are still plenty of attractions to keep visitors entertained.

Constantia is one of Cape Town’s most popular wine regions, and it’s also home to some of the city’s best restaurants. You can visit the extraordinarily beautiful Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.

With so much to see and do, Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs are an essential stop for any visitor to the city.

Expect some scorching days in Cape Town over the next few weeks. 🌞🥵

As a result, please:

🚰Hydrate regularly.
🧴 Don’t forget to slather on sunscreen with a high SPF and sport a stylish wide-brimmed hat for extra protection against those UV rays.
🌳 When outdoors, try to seek shade whenever possible. This is especially important during the hottest parts of the day, usually between 10 am and 4 pm.

How do you like to cool down on a hot summer’s day?
