This is a must visit for all tourists and even locals on holiday. Best way to see Cape Town from the open air buses that leave regularly from this station. The station is also a office for Cape Town tourism, so you can book bus tours, helicopter flight, shark cage diving and more all from this venue. The station is 400 meters away so a 5 minute walk. Walk down Darling street, cross over adderley onto Shortmarket. Follow the road until your reach the corner of Long and Shortmarket.

Parks & Nature
One of the most popular hikes in Cape Town. Easier than Table Mountain with amazing city and mountain views. The hike is extremely popular for sunsets. (Take a headlamp to find your way down in the dark.)
We suggest that you go for sunrise to avoid the crowds.
