City centre, Cape Town South Africa

When it comes to fun and entertainment, Cape Town is the mother of all cities, and there's no such thing as a dull moment if you’re in the heart of it: the Cape Town city centre. Here, you'll find loads of attractions and entertainment options.

Meet the flower sellers of Adderley Street, something of a Cape Town institution, and make sure you browse in Greenmarket Square, the city’s best-loved flea market. The Pan African Market in Long Street (which is vibrant, particularly at night) is a must for curios and wares from all over Africa. There are two museums that are an absolute must – the District Six Museum on Buitenkant Street and the Iziko South African Museum, which is part of the collection of eight Iziko Museums of Cape Town.

The open-top double-decker buses of City Sightseeing are one of the best ways to take in the highlights of Cape Town. With the sun on your shoulders, and an elevated view of your surroundings, you’ll see why the CitySightseeing Bus is the popular official tour of Cape Town.

There are two routes covering more than 20 of Cape Town’s iconic attractions and destinations, including Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, the V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay, Sea Point and the Constantia Wine Route.
