If you want to really feel the beating heart of every new city you visit and feel right at home while exploring it, its busy markets are the place to be. Cape Town has quite a few in store, and here are three that offer the most authentic experience in this bustling South African city.
Greenmarket Square
Greenmarket Square is one of Cape Town’s most popular historic squares and it was home to all kinds of different markets throughout history. It remains one of the city’s most popular markets to this day, mostly focusing on selling locally made art, crafts, and clothing.
Bay Harbour Market
A visit to Cape Town is incomplete if you don’t take some time to explore the attractions of Hout Bay including Bay Harbour Market. This rustic marketplace has something for everyone because it offers both local foods and handmade craft items.
Neighbourgoods Market
If you’re not sure how to spend your weekends in Cape Town, this market inside Old Biscuit Mill in the Woodstock neighborhood is the place to be. Street food and clothes are usually sold on Saturdays, while Sundays are dedicated to antiques, home décor, vinyl, craft beer, brunch, and so much more!
