What would your guide to Cape Town include for tourists visiting the Mother City? Have a look at this guide and let us know how accurate it is:
, released a guide to Cape Town, which explores the best seasons for tourists to visit as well as activities and other necessities for travellers looking to venture to the Mother City.While most of the information was solid, I was most curious to read the “Things to Know Before Visiting Cape Town”, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Ashleigh Nefdt. Why not? I thought.
What is the “local culture” when it comes to Cape Town? Considering the melting pot of sub-cultures that create South Africa, let alone Cape Town, it’s advisable not to put everyone in one category. There are certain cultures and spots where you’ll absolutely hear people speaking at the top of their lungs at different volume intensities .
On the contrary, we have an entire community of vegans and vegetarians in Cape Town who take their veggies incredibly seriously. As for the “chicken” joke, this comes from Afrikaans culture and is understood in a tongue-in-cheek way that only locals would get as humour if not explained.As it is with any place boasting so much to see, comfortable shoes are key in a Capetonian starter kit.
While the news can offer newcomers a terrifying image of some places, it’s also not entirely accurate to downplay it. As the writer indicates, using common sense is still important, as it is anywhere in the world. However, common sense in a first-world country is very different from common sense in places where crime is more rife. The best safety tips most locals will give you are to understand the different areas well before visiting , never walk alone, especially not at night, and travel in groups as much as you can. If you have the option to drive instead of walk, then cruise on.Absolutely accurate.
