\n

Cape Town shopping is the kind where you come home with something meaningful such as a print from a local artist, a jar of fynbos honey, or a piece of wire art that becomes the first thing people ask about when they see it in your home.<\/p>\n

\"Oranjezicht<\/p>\n

Before You Go: Cards, Cash, and ATMs<\/h2>\n

One thing to know before you go: most places take credit cards, so there\u2019s rarely a need to carry cash, but there are ATMs around the Waterfront if you\u2019d like some on hand. I sometimes still like to have a little cash on me, but it\u2019s not necessary.<\/p>\n

The Oranjezicht City Farm Market<\/h2>\n

I figure a good place to start is the Oranjezicht City Farm Market, right along the water with views out toward Table Bay and Robben Island. It\u2019s open Saturday and Sunday mornings, with a smaller version on Wednesday evenings. It\u2019s a great place to grab a coffee and something to eat before a day of shopping.<\/p>\n

\"Bagel<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find tables piled with vegetables, warm loaves of sourdough, cheese, buckets of flowers, and jars of local honey. There\u2019s a stand selling fresh pasta made right there that morning, plus jewelry from local makers, lovely olive oils and balsamic vinegars worth tucking into your bag to take home, and a handful of food vendors if you want a proper breakfast or lunch.<\/p>\n

\"Stand<\/p>\n

The V&A Waterfront<\/h2>\n

From the market, it\u2019s a short walk to the V&A Waterfront, close enough that you can do both without needing a car. The Waterfront is where most of Cape Town\u2019s shopping happens, a mix of South African designers alongside international names, with the water in view almost the whole way. And if you get hungry, you won\u2019t have any trouble. There are restaurants everywhere, from a quick waterside lunch to more upscale dinners.<\/p>\n

The Watershed<\/h2>\n

Another great stop at the Waterfront is The Watershed. It feels more like a market hall than a mall, with over a hundred vendors selling textiles, jewelry, leather goods, ceramics, art, and all kinds of things for the home. It\u2019s an easy place to find something special, whether you\u2019re picking up a gift or something for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"Watershed<\/p>\n

If You Have More Time: Kloof Street and Bree Street<\/h2>\n

If you have more time, it\u2019s worth checking out Kloof Street and Bree Street, a short drive from the Waterfront and lined with polished South African boutiques and a few excellent bookshops.<\/p>\n

Fitting Shopping in Cape Town Into Your Trip<\/h2>\n

Shopping in Cape Town is an easy way to fill a morning between the bigger moments of a trip, and it\u2019s usually one of the things people mention wanting to do again once they\u2019re home.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
