*Very* casual restaurant with a young crowd and an excellent coffeeshop in the back serving Deluxe Coffee. Don't bother to try to drive here, parking is terrible, take an Uber instead!

Arts & Culture

Small, friendly local public library. A good spot to do some quiet reading, and a children's library is available downstairs if you have friends with children visiting.

The most impressive contemporary art museum in Africa, and one of the best in the world. Absolutely worth a day of browsing the exhibits and enjoying this extremely unique building.

Parks & Nature

You can't skip visiting Table Mountain! I recommend taking the aerial tramway up and down, if you're interested in hiking up you should find a group to go with, and never hike alone. (Always check the weather report before going, bring water, and warm clothes because the weather can change VERY quickly on even the hottest days.)

Lovely "pocket park" less than a block away from the apartment, a good spot to sit out and enjoy a bit of outside time. There is a playground available if you have friends with children visiting.

Another great neighborhood park! A bit larger than Wexford Road Park if you're looking for room for a stroll on the grass.

Getting Around

Local stop for the MyCiTi bus, Cape Town's local public bus system. You can learn more about MyCiTi bus, including their guide for new users (important to read, as they don't take cash on the bus!), at https://myciti.org.za/en/about/media-marketing/system-guide/
