This is another unmissable little stretch of places to party in Cape Town, with a hint of grunge. If you’re not a fan of clubbing in general but prefer a night where you can sip your drink whilst playing pool or seeing live local bands play in a (pleasantly) darkened bar, then head to Observatory for a low-key night out. The collection of bars here match the quirky feel of the district, one where you’ll find creative wall art, secondhand vintage shops and colourful characters traipsing in and out of the older-era buildings.

Chapman’s Peak Drive is often referred to as one of the most scenic drives in the world. Cruising the 9km route with 114 curves, a rocky coastline dropping into the Atlantic Ocean and colourful sandstone sedimentary rock towering above you, is a jaw-dropping experience. Do it at sunset and you will be gob-smacked. The rocks glow in golden light, the sea shimmers and sparkles and the smiling faces looking at the view pose for classic selfies. Sunset on Chappies is heaven on earth for photographers… tripods the size of grown men appear, light meters and angles are lined up and realigned and readjusted to get that perfect shot.

Чепменс Пик Драйв
1 Chapmans Peak DrChapman’s Peak Drive is often referred to as one of the most scenic drives in the world. Cruising the 9km route with 114 curves, a rocky coastline dropping into the Atlantic Ocean and colourful sandstone sedimentary rock towering above you, is a jaw-dropping experience. Do it at sunset and you will be gob-smacked. The rocks glow in golden light, the sea shimmers and sparkles and the smiling faces looking at the view pose for classic selfies. Sunset on Chappies is heaven on earth for photographers… tripods the size of grown men appear, light meters and angles are lined up and realigned and readjusted to get that perfect shot.
Clarence Drive is beautiful! There’s something wild about this stretch of coastline. It also happens to lead to Hermanus; a seaside holiday mecca that’s home to stunning views and often, breeding whales.

The Labia Theatre is one of Cape Town’s favourite lesser-known attractions. The locals, of course, know it very well. It’s one of Cape Town’s favourite things to do, especially on nights when there’s a dinner special running.
It’s the oldest independent cinema in South Africa.

Entertainment & Activities
For many Capetonians (and visitors to the Mother City) being outdoors and trying new things are two of the things that excite (and unite) us. Throw in a full moon and the “vibe” – as locals say – intensifies.
Once a month from March until October, experienced paddlers and novices alike are invited to watch the sun set across the ocean – and the full moon as it rises over the bay – from a kayak!
The two-hour experience kicks off from the Simon’s Town Waterfront, and during the ride you’ll be able to spot penguins, seals and dolphins. From August until October, there’s even the chance of spotting a whale or two.
