30 Things to do in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We knew we had to return to do the city justice and also film a proper Cape Town travel guide for you guys. This time around, we gave ourselves a full week to spare.
Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town. As always, if you have any other suggestions for fellow travellers, feel free to share those in the comments below. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

Hi, nice video! How can I book the sidecar ride ?
I’m going out of the country for the first time for my 30th birthday, and we decide on going to Cape Town. This video was very helpful! Great job! Thank you!
Wishing you a wonderful trip to Cape Town, Cortney! 😊
How was your experience?
We loved Cape Town when we went last year. A highlight was visiting Kalk Bay, a beautiful fishing village a short drive away from Cape Town. We also learnt to surf at Big Bay, Bloubergstrand which has amazing views of Table Mountain!
That is awesome to hear! It sure is an incredible city.
As a Cape Town local I really enjoyed this guide. Fantastic video guys. Glad you enjoyed your stay in the best city in the whole world.
Thank you very much! It is an incredible city. It really means a lot to us hearing that from a local :)
I love this video. You did my city justice.
Thank you very much! That means a lot to us coming from a local :)
Is there an art district ?
You Immediately persuade me to go to everywhere you guys visit. Thank You!
Ah, thank you! Cape Town is definitely a winner :)
Thanks you so much for reminding me what I have to see and do in my own city.
So easy to get stuck in your own rut of existence in your home city.
We do get out, we do visit spots... but easy to slip into regular and local spots.
Thanks for visiting us!
Woah, it's so weird to see my city through the eyes of tourists. Literally all the places you visited I've been and see regularly. It's very refreshing😄
Thank you! That means a lot. Anything you think we missed?
I exactly what you are talking about😄 For me it's just home and I absolutely love it.
South Africa is the best place I've ever visited
That is really cool to hear! Any fav spots?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos You should really explore the Western Cape more. Mosselbay, Oudthshoorn. Can ride a ostrich and explore the Congo caves, with a red tour for the daring. They also have a bunny farm. Mosselbay have a lot of museums and arts spots, Diaz ship, water park. There are lots to do I can't even name it all. Plus the weather is always good, never hot never cold. Was in the records books for the best climate year round in the southern hemisphere.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Also: Drakensberg!
My brother said the same in 1981. I’m going this December. Waited 40 yrs to catch up.
same
Great video guys :) I totally agree the pizza in South Africa is absolutely delicious! All the food is incredible there. Watching this seriously makes me miss my time in Cape Town 😭💔 Hubby and I recently spent over a month travelling around different parts of Africa and we completely fell in love with Cape Town, it's seriously so hard to imagine a more beautiful place in the world, it's perfection. We loved surfing there, climbing Lion's Head Mountain (The best place to watch a gorgeous sunset) and we miss seeing those cheeky, cute and very comical African Penguins on the beach. Cape Town is a place that once you have been there you will never forget it 🐧🌊🏄🌍
Thanks Sophie! I couldn't agree with you more. I can't think of a more beautiful city.
@@samuelandaudrey You're welcome guys. We love your videos :)
I visited Cape Town many times, and always a highlight for me. Travelling by train from Johannesburg to Cape Town is great start to a Cape Town holiday
That is cool to hear! That train ride sounds epic :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos It is indeed. Very relaxing way of travelling
It's really so cool to see people visit Cape Town and be equally interested in the sights and the histories. It's a beautiful part of the country with such a rich history, it would be a shame to come here and not take a dive into history, so thank you for highlighting some of that❤️
Cape town has the whole package . Watever u need and want Cape town has it . Especially if you want to party !!!!
Amazing city no doubt about it!
We live in Cape Town South Africa and we are so happy that you enjoyed yourself here! We always love it when people enjoy the things to do in our city. Its packed with activity. I would highly recommend coming in Mar- May for the Wine Harvest Festivals. There are also strawberry/ fruit, foraging, kite and tones of other festivals to do in Cape Town! Happy travelling.
Thank you! Woudl love to visit that time of year! Miss CT!
Wow just stumbled across your video. What a great way of showing beautiful Cape Town. From a Capetonian
Thank you very much! Means a lot to hear that.
I live in Cape Town it’s amazing I see table mountain everyday
What a view!
Great video! I've been living in Cape Town for almost two years now and I am still in love with this city.
Thanks! That is really cool to hear :)
Hey guys! I just wanted to write and say thank you for making this video. We just came back from Cape Town. Before we went, we watched this video and it was really helpful. We did several of the things you mentioned here! It was a life saver especially for my boyfriend, who is is vegetarian and loves Indian food...we went to the Eastern Food Bazaar 9 times while we were staying in CT, there aren't a lot of vegetarian options in CT so this was essential. We also went to the Cape Malay restaurant, it was awesome. It was part of our daily ritual! We wouldn't have known about it without this video. If there's anything I can say to those considering going to Cape Town, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are a MUST DO, it's the most beautiful garden I've ever been to.
Oh, and we LOVED Yours Truly! We went there 4 times :)
Thank you very much! That is fantastic to hear. You know what? We're the same way. If we find places we like we'll go back time and again. The gardens are incredible. Cape Town is one of the most fascinating cities we've ever visited. I don't think we'll ever live there but it is a city we'd love to revisit as many times as possible.
Who is living in cape town and watching this because of lockdown we literally watched every thing else lol
Thank you! We had a great time in Cape Town. Wishing all of you the best and hope life returns to normal soon.
@@samuelandaudrey thank alot see u soon back in capetown and i m a subscriber as well of your chanel from now onwards
"Says who?
Says I, says the wife."
Awww That couldn't be any cuter.
For some reason I caught myself thinking that Cape Town makes a great honeymoon destination. Thanks to your gorgeous videos, I fell in love with the place.
Hahaha...thanks! Ah, we can be silly at times. I think it would be a great honeymoon destination especially if you added some time in the Cape Winelands (Stellenbosch) and explored Cape Peninsula as well.
I've been there for two years and trust me that was marvelous. 👌🏾
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. NIce travel vlog guys 👍
Thank you very much Andrej! COuldn't agree with you more.
@@samuelandaudrey Keep just adventuring ;)
You guys are such a delight! Canadians are awesome. Come back to South Africa soon, please. :)
Amazing job on this vid of my home town!! Hope you visit us again soon!
Thank you very much! We'd love to come back again soon :)
So glad you enjoyed our beautiful country! 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️🙌🙌 Still watching this In 2021
Ah, thanks Cathleen! We just loved it. Hope to revisit again someday.
I loved EVERY second of this….. my home town. I’m so homesick now! Thanks for a fabulous visit! ❤️
Going to Cape Town next week, so proud to call such a beautiful place my home ❤️ glad you guys enjoyed xxx
Awesome to hear! CT is so beautiful :)
This will be the Perfect Christmas gift for my family....thank you for capturing every scenery and location so perfectly.
Oh how I miss Cape Town, grew up seeing all these beautiful places
Hope you can revisit soon! It sure a beautiful city.
I really love visiting CT , I think the most difficult thing about it is pronouncing the ''oo'' in the words , Boomslang ,Kloof straat , and Bebootie . Just ask someone what the word for ''eyes'' is in Afrikaans and that is the way to pronounce it
being Afrikaans it is really funny to think there are no example in english to get the sound of the "oo" You will have to watch an Afrikaans video to get the sound calibrated , ha-ha Thanks for the video can't wait to go back there after the pandemic
Thank you very much Michael! We could definitely work out on pronunciation. Hope you can visit CT again soon.
Aye it's you. Hi
Michael Jamison, I've come up with oe'r. Does bo'ermslung do it?☺
@@annebooyse1112 Yes , that works really well!
I am watching this because I used to live there, left 10 years ago for Oxford UK. Well after watching this I really felt homesick!
Hope you can revisit again soon Tristan!
Wow, this is one of the best Cape Town videos I ever seen. Great job guys. Cape Town is on my list.
Thank you very much! That is awesome to hear. Cape Town is one of our favorite cities in the world and we'd love to encourage more people to visit :)
Do you need a car to get around or is there public transportation?
We ended up walking a lot, public buses seem decent and Uber is popular.
alteredillusions100 the public transport (aka taxis) are really unsafe, the drivers aren’t great, it’s best to order an Uber 😊
Love this, makes me so homesick ❤️
Why am I watching this? I literally live in Cape Town.
Ah, what would you suggest people do not included here?
Aerin Atkins Lol I do too 😂 ♥
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos ...??
hi
As a Jo'burger I would recommend: Charlie's Bakery ; head out to Hout Bay for a trip to Seal Island. ( If you're lucky you'll see a Great White shark.) Blues is a great restaurant to try in Camps Bay; hire a bicycle and cycle along the SeaPoint promenade and you absolutely need to go to Kalk Bay too.
Wowww!!! This city definitely goes on my lists of places to visit now!! And i forgot to tell you that i put you in my vlog. Vlog117 :). You all are right at the beginning! :). Hope you enjoy it!!! :)
Thank you! It was really cool to meet you the other day. Hope travels in Europe and studies in France go really well :)
Loved this! Definitely did our city justice, and glad you could make it to Stellenbosch as well!
Thank you very much! We sure enjoyed visiting.
Very well done... nice and thorough overview of Cape Town... sorry we missed you guys!!!!
Thank you!
I really liked watching you two guys...brilliant, well done!!!

They missed my favorite coffee shop just across from the distrik 6 museum and they didn't buy peanuts to feed the squirrels at the kompanje gardens!!
Why am i watching this.. I live in Cape Town 😂😂
LOL, anything you'd recommend we do next time?
West coast National park, Oudtshoorn caves, Boomslang cave hike in False bay, Cheetah park in Somerset west. Aquarium in the waterfront. Seal island. Shark cage diving. Whale watching in Hermanus.
Coz theirs nothing left to do in capetown lol so even we stay here we watch what others do
Try the biscuit mill market on the right day. (saterday i think ?) Food/ clothing etc.
Just stumbled across your videos, I live in cape Town and absolutely enjoyed all the videos. You guys represented it so well. So now I know I can fully trust all your other videos, I can't wait until I have some time on my hands to watch some of your other worldly adventures. Well done guys!

Great video, guys! Would absolutely love to visit Cape Town. Will definitely revisit this guide when we do! :)

Notes of Nomads I'm from Cape Town its amazing
6:47 Raisins in Bobotie gives the sweet taste. Born and bred Cape Townian here now living in Scotland. After watchign this video, I'm homesick lol. So many memories.
So nice to see your guys enjoyed Cape Town
Thank you! We loved it.
really good travel guide!! I actually did a lot of the things you mentioned. Can't recommend this city enough 😍
Thank you very much! How did your trip go?
I usually just skip pass any content about CPT as it never reflects the the real deal. For some reason your blog popped up and I decided to give it a shot simply due to curiosity, and I'll be dammed!! You guys nailed it close to perfect. I'm from CPT and I work in the heart of the CBD just 2 traffic lights from the Bo Kaap. From a Capetonian I must say well done guys.
Wow! Thank you very much! That means so much to us coming from a local.
As a Capetonian, I must say you did an excellent job and picked great experiences and highlights! Shoutout from the South Peninsula side, glad you got to see Boulder"s beach and our side, "The Deep South".
Thank you very much! We had such a great trip :)
This is an excellent Cape Town video! I learned of a few great places to check out.
Thank you very much!
cape town looks really great ...thx for sharing!
Thank you! It really is an incredible city in many ways. It is up there with Rio and Vancouver in terms of its scenic skyline.
I’m so happy you guys like Cape Town
Thanks! We had a great time.
Very helpful video to plan our first trip to Cape Town, thanks!!
Thank you! Hope you have a great time in CT :)
Thanks for portraying one of our most stunning cities in such an amazing way!! I'm from Johannesburg South Africa and I can honestly say that I fall in love with Cape Town every time I go there on holiday!! Was going to comment on the gatsby but I see many comments letting you know that it is meant to be shared...Lol. Great video!!
Thank you! I heard the Gatsby has a different name in Johannesburg? Is that true?
Hi, yep - Its called an AK up here in Johannesburg but many a Capetonian will argue that theirs is better :) Since watching the video, been busy planning my next trip to CT already and look forward to trying out some of the 30 things you mentioned that I have yet to try!! Keep well and keep traveling!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog! You are both truly endearing & have the uncanny ability to make yourselves feel like lifelong friends!
Thank you very much!

Thanks Alan! That is really exciting to hear. Wishing you the best trip.

Thank you! That is really cool to hear. Hope you really enjoy CT.
I love this! I'm going to South Africa next month! Great tips! I can't wait to see Table Mountain, Robbin Island, etc I know it's winter there. Was it really cold or did it feel like early fall? Trying to get my packing list together.
Thank you! That is really cool to hear. You'll definitely want to bring some warmer clothes as I checked right now and they have highs of around 15-16 and lows of 9-10. It might be even colder when you arrive.
Cape Town is my most favourite place in the world. I live to go back. I so wish I could live there
