30 Things to do in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We knew we had to return to do the city justice and also film a proper Cape Town travel guide for you guys. This time around, we gave ourselves a full week to spare.
Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town. As always, if you have any other suggestions for fellow travellers, feel free to share those in the comments below. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

For any tourist who wants to visit bo-kaap: My little brother and I took and Uber from Kirstenboschs Botanical Garden (witch was very nice, totally recommend), to go there. There is to say, Cape Town is a city with lots of very poor people, so criminally is a real thing there. I didn’t knew that it was so bad tbh. I’m from Switzerland and really not used to areas like this. So we drove through the city and already had a bad feeling cause we were alone, (me 19, him 15) but it looked nice in the video and i wanted to take some nice pics there. Long story short. From the moment the uber left, we felt unsafe and not welcome. People immediately came to us asking for money and a strange group of guys was already giving us looks and were trying to talk to us. Not saying these people are bad, but we just knew we weren’t save. So we ordered an uber back. Its a rough place there, and yes, it totally is about skincolor, there’s nothing u can do about. Just think about it and stay save while traveling!🙌🏼
