Getting around Cape Town

Roaming the many curio and antique markets, or strolling through the city's oak-lined Company Gardens, en route to the National Gallery or Natural History Museum, are popular with both visitors and residents. For those with energy, or whose schedules are not too hectic, Cape Town is best discovered by foot.

For exploring further afield - i.e. if the sun lures you to one of the city's beautiful, natural beaches - hop onto a minibus taxi, South Africa's most used, and most economical, means of public transport, travelling to just about every area (and stopping just about anywhere, too!). The more conventional metropolitan bus service will also get you where you need to be. Operating from the Grand Parade station, in the heart of the city, there are sign-posted bus stops situated along all the key routes. Both will get you to the lower cable station if Table Mountain is your destination!
