If a friend had to ask what they should do in Cape Town, this is what i’d tell them.
Hey, I’m Diana. I have a blog called Miss Moss. As you may have guessed, I live in Cape Town. As someone who loves travelling and always researches a place before I go there I completely understand the appeal of finding out where the locals eat, drink and shop. That’s why I created this guide.
You’re guaranteed to have the best time in a foreign city if you have someone showing you around, so if you’re not lucky enough to know a Capetonian then consider the Cape Town City Guide a handy substitute.
This is a personal guide
I’m not attempting to rewrite the Lonely Planet guide to Cape Town. I haven’t listed any of the major tourist attractions, beaches, landmarks, etc – which are super easy to figure out. Visit any tourist office or just google ‘Cape Town’. For a list of all the restaurants in town visit Eat Out.
It’s a work in progress
I first wrote this guide ten years ago, and some places have closed and opened shop since then (especially post-COVID). I also had 2 kids during that time, so my Cape Town wanderings have shifted a bit to also include child-friendly places.
Suggestions are welcome
If you’re a local reading this and you have a suggestion of a rad place to visit then please email me. as I said I’d love to continue building and adding onto the list. If you suggest a place I haven’t visited yet then I will go there and experience it first hand!
Enjoy your time in Cape Town !
