Outdoors in Cape Town – Things You Can Do for Free, Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town has something for everyone; good food and wine, beautiful beaches, great shopping, museums and beautiful nature spots. When the weather is good most Cape Townians head outdoors to experience the best the city has to offer without spending a penny. Here’s some of the best outdoor activities for everyone in Cape Town that you can do for free! 

This moderate hike up Cape Town’s iconic Lion’s Head Mountain is one of my favorite outdoor activities in the city. Start your hike early to avoid the heat in summer, or do the full moon hike at night. You’ll be rewarded with the best views of the bay, for free. For more details and tips on the hike, read my full post here.

If you’re not up for a hike, you can drive past Lion’s Head on to one of Cape Town’s other landmarks, Signal Hill. This is the perfect spot for a picnic and to watch the sun go down over Table Bay. 

If you’re looking to get acquainted with the ocean and catch come waves, head slightly out of the city to Muizenberg to catch the best ones.  ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
