Bordered by Table Mountain, its two peaks and the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town's city centre is small, compact and easily walkable in a day, even without a guide. Historic buildings sit cheek-and-jowl next to sleek modern high rises, and sculptures, mosaics and street art dot the city.
Top places to visit include:
- Bo-Kaap – known for its candy-coloured houses and fragrant Cape Malay spice shops.
- Company's Gardens – Cape Town's ‘green lungs', flanked by the national museum, national art gallery, and fascinating planetarium.
- Greenmarket Square – a historical square known for its African crafts market.
- Bree, Long and Kloof Streets – discover a trendy array of eateries, boutiques shops, and art galleries.
Best time to go
Summer reaches its peak between December and February, which is the most popular time for a Cape Town holiday. Expect busy streets, a vibrant nightlife, and gloriously sunny festive cheer. Cape Town's fierce south-easterly wind can be rather gusty during this time of year. By February the wind calms and most visitors head home, making late January to April absolutely fantastic.
