Sightseeing

Who can't resist this 7th Wonder of the Natural World​? There are no words for how special this is. Sometimes weather permitting so check before. You can queue for long periods in peak season but it's worth the wait. I've been man times and always so breathtaking.

The V & A has to be the hottest tourist spot. Stunning malls for high-end shopping. Fantastic eateries around the marina as well as all the usual chain restaurants. Robben Island tours, lots of visitor attractions. The Wheel is very popular. Everyone staying with us should go the V & A. Short Uber ride on 25 Rand or 15 Minute walk.

Conseils aux voyageurs

Se déplacer dans les environs

De Waterkant is so centrally located, Uber is cheap.

If you are just spending a few days in Cape Town then Uber is far cheaper than using a hire car. It's super cheap and safe. Getting around during the day is perfectly safe though its a city like any other so always be cautious.
Coutumes et culture

Anything goes in Cape Town and to many different cultures.

The people of Cape Town are super friendly and mostly speak english. Two Other Main languages Xhosa and Afrikaans, but also many other African lanquages.
Manières d'économiser

Try the traditional Restaurants​ in the old Town

Many tourists tend to head straight to the V & A. However, the old town offers an interesting blend of international and local cuisine. Soak up the vibe in Long Street. The prices are half. The food is fantastic.
Que faut-il apporter ?

SUN PROTECTION

Cape Town has a very high sunburn, high most of the time. Even in winter. I always recommend nothing less than 30spf at the minimum. Keep applying and be very careful. I see every week very pink tourists that regret not following advice. :) Max Protection for children. I advise T-shirts in the pool as the cool breeze can be deceiving on the roof.
Phrases utiles

The fun is working it out.

When a shop assistance says she will be with you now. She means soon not now. If she is coming right now she will say she is coming now now. Lekker means good/great/awesome Braai BBQ Hello in Xhosa is Molo. Listen out for the clicks in the language. Its quite impressive. Afkrikaan is also wideldy spoken. Some great tips in this link https://buzzsouthafrica.com/south-african-slangs/
Voyage avec enfants

Family Friendly​

Our culture makes us naturally super family-friendly and kids are welcome anywhere. Remember that smoking is still permitted in some restaurants and public spaces so ask for non-smoking. Mostly in the season, everything is outside. From the Aquarium, to boat trips, cinemas​ and so many fun days out. Cape Town is great for families.
