Top neighbourhoods in Cape Town

The Company Gardens in Cape Town with Table Mountain in the background.

City Bowl

City Bowl captivates with its mountain-meets-history charm. Table Mountain looms above colonial buildings where cobblestone streets wind through Cape Malay areas with candy-colored houses. Museums tell South Africa's complex storey while Company's Gardens offers leafy respite from urban buzz. The Castle of Good Hope's ochre walls stand as a reminder of Cape Town's colonial past. MyCiTi buses connect major spots every 15 minutes, making car-free exploration a breeze. Dining options range from spice-scented Bo-Kaap curry houses to trendy Kloof Street bistros. Boutique hotels in Victorian buildings provide character-filled stays with stunning mountain views.

Sea Point

Sea Point

Sea Point's stunning oceanfront promenade steals the show with endless Atlantic views and outdoor fun. Joggers hit the path at dawn while families claim sunset-watching spots on benches scattered along the coastline. The lively Main Road corridor serves up everything from casual pavement cafés to upscale seafood spots, all just steps from Milton Beach and the iconic saltwater swimming pools. Getting around couldn't be easier with frequent MyCiTi buses connecting to city centre and the V&A Waterfront. Most visitors stay in stylish self-catering apartments housed in Art Deco buildings or boutique hotels with dramatic ocean views. The promenade's exercise stations and tidal pools make this Cape Town gem perfect for active travellers.

Cape Town Stadium which includes a city and a sunset

Green Point

Green Point pairs stunning ocean views with sporty energy that keeps you on your toes. Kick back at Green Point Urban Park or catch a match at Cape Town Stadium, where the bowl-shaped design wows even non-sports fans. The Sea Point Promenade invites you to jog, cycle, or just people-watch with the Atlantic's waves crashing nearby. Dining options range from upscale seafood spots to trendy cafés with mountain views. Hotels and guesthouses offer ocean panoramas, though at premium prices. The area is wonderfully walkable, with MyCiTi buses running frequently if your feet need a break.

Camps Bay

Camps Bay dazzles with pristine white sand beaches and the dramatic backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountains. The palm-lined promenade buzzes with energy as beachgoers soak up the sun and snap photos of Lion's Head towering above. After working up an appetite, head to the upscale oceanfront strip where trendy cafes and cocktail bars offer the perfect sunset views. Getting around is easy on foot along the beachfront, though the mountain roads can be steep. Most visitors rely on Uber or rental cars since public transport is limited. Luxury boutique hotels and high-end holiday rentals with infinity pools and ocean views dominate the accommodation scene.

Cloud-covered Table Mountain and Devil's Peak over Woodstock houses, Cape Town, South Africa

Woodstock

Woodstock buzzes with creative energy as Cape Town's artsy heartbeat. Once industrial, now it's packed with galleries, design studios, and the Old Biscuit Mill's weekend markets. Street art splashes across warehouse walls while Whatiftheworld gallery showcases contemporary African talent. The area keeps its multicultural soul with Cape Malay, African, and European influences in both architecture and food. Craft breweries, hip coffee shops, and eclectic eateries fuel your exploration between murals and vintage shops. Getting around is easy with MyCiTi bus routes and two metro stations—Esplanade and Woodstock—connecting you to greater Cape Town. Most spots are within a 10-minute walk of each other in this walkable artistic haven.
