Neighbourgoods Market

Top choice in Cape Town


This is the artisanal goods markets that kickstarted the craze for similar markets across the Cape – and it's still one of the best. Food and drinks are gathered in the main area where you can pick up groceries and gourmet goodies or just graze, while the separate Designergoods area hosts a must-buy selection of local fashions and accessories.

Come early, unless you enjoy jostling with crowds.
