Hit up museums and art galleries
Cape Town has plenty of museums and art galleries to explore. For a real treat, visit the Zeitz MOCAA (Museum of Contemporary Art Africa).

For something more traditional, consider the South African Museum before enjoying a relaxing stroll around the Company's Garden.
