Set off on an adventure through some of Cape Town's most colourful and fascination places, from the cosmopolitan V&A Waterfront to the quirky stores lining Green Market Square. Discover Bo-Kaap, an area famous for its candy coloured buildings, cobblestone streets and multicultural history. With visits to a bustling flower market and a trip along trendy Long Street, this is one adventure that packs in some of the best sights - and hidden treasures - that make up Cape Town.
Start the adventure among the sights along the V&A Waterfront, before jumping in a taxi, complete with typical local music, for the trip into the colourful Bo-Kaap area. Formerly known as the Malay Quarter, this place was born out of South Africa's slave era, when the Dutch brought slaves from Asia to work in the city. Today, it is famous for its candy coloured buildings, cobblestone streets and rich multicultural heritage. Pay a visit to the Bo-Kaap Museum, located in the area's oldest house, to learn more about this fascinating place and to discover the cultural contribution made by early Muslim settlers. Call by a spice shop to discover the many treasures on offer, and perhaps try one of the area's spicy snacks, from flavourful samoosas to fiery meat skewers. Take a walk down Long Street, with its collection of restaurants, bars and clubs, and get the insider's scoop on the best places to return to once the sun has set. Continue on through the Company Gardens, a region that once supplied fresh fruit, vegetables and meat to passing ships, and where some of the original trees remain. Soak up the idyllic surrounds, complete with fragrant rose plantations and abundant bird and plant life, before stopping to admire the impressive parliament houses. Grab a cold drink and a quick look at the range of curious shops lining Green Market Square, then it's time to continue on down St Georges Mall Street and into the heart of downtown Cape Town. End the adventure on a sweet smelling note, with a visit to the impressive Flower Market, which has been in operation for over 100 years, before bidding farewell to the streets and heading back to the V&A Waterfront.
