City Bowl

Cape Town’s city center is often referred to as the City Bowl as a result of its neatly arranged and compact location surrounded by enormous mountains on one side and beautiful sea on the other.

The advantage is a central location where you are close to restaurants, night life activities, entertainment, the V&A Waterfront, Atlantic Seaboard and many popular beaches.

Surrounding areas are easily accessible by car, with all major access roads within close proximity of Cape Town city centre.

City bowl accommodation is as varied as tourists themselves, with everything from 3-star and luxury 5-star hotels, to apartments, villas and backpacker lodges,as well as many guesthouses.

While visiting the Cape Town City Bowl, take in the many trendy shops and cafe’s, watch a sunset from Lion’s Head, take a stroll down Long Street, visit Greenmarket Square for curios and gifts, or just enjoy a cappuccino and cake on Kloof Street.

The choices are many, the hard part is choosing what to do first!
