V&A Waterfront
The V&A is more than your typical mall. It’s also home to the V&A Food Market, where you can try affordable gourmet goods and international street food, the Cape Town Comedy Club for a night of laughs and the Two Oceans Aquarium. Don’t forget to take a spin on the Cape Wheel for a bird’s eye view of the city.

Offering a stunning Blue Flag beach ideal for surfers of all levels, vintage stores, second-hand bookstores and a row of beachside restaurants and bars, Muizenberg may quickly become your newest go-to spot.
First Thursdays
When the first Thursday of every month comes around, students all over Cape Town hit the city centre streets. With dozens of art galleries and cultural events showcasing a wealth of diverse artistic talent and offering free drinks and snacks, you’ll have a great night experiencing the Mother City’s unique art scene.
Long Street
Known as the heart of Cape Town’s party scene, Long Street is the perfect spot for a night out. Enjoy pre-drinks at The Waiting Room before hitting the dance floor at the Soho Night Club. From live performances to DJs, students can dance the night away at any one of the many nightclubs lining this iconic street.
