I've created some guides that curate your weekend plans based on your vibe.

Cape Town and its surrounds really has something for every season. Whether it's day trips to explore bright yellow canola fields or inner-city new years festivities you're after, my Instagram guides have got you covered.

In a city that wears its layers of history so visibly, from colonial buildings to freedom murals, these benches are one of the most understated yet moving monuments.

If you’re exploring Cape Town without a car, start with the MyCiTi. It’s efficient, budget-friendly, and gives you a glimpse of local life that you won’t get from the back seat of an Uber.

Visiting all three of these locations together is an effective way of understanding South Africa's story. It reminds us that the beautiful city we see today is not without a dark history, the effects of which are still felt by many that live and work here.

Cape Town’s strength lies in the fact that you can cover less ground and still find yourself surrounded by beauty, creativity, and connection.

Bree Street's cycle lanes have recently undergone a refresher, and upgraded with physical protections rather than just standard painted lanes. These protective elements help keep vehicles out of the cycle lane and make the route safer for anyone on a bike or scooter.

More than just a health drink, rooibos represents a link between South Africa’s indigenous knowledge, colonial history, and modern identity. Plus, it's delish.

The Long Street Baths are a reminder that wellness doesn’t need to be exclusive or expensive — it can be deeply rooted in community, culture, and care. Whether you’re a curious visitor or a local needing a breather, this historic space is one of Cape Town’s most underrated gems.

The Company’s Garden and Iziko Complex offer one of the most meaningful and memorable ways to explore Cape Town’s city centre and dive a little deeper into the history that made our city what it is today.

Most of these cafés are within walking distance of the Company’s Garden, Iziko Museums, Greenmarket Square, and Long Street — making it easy to build your own walking route through the city with coffee breaks built in.

Just behind the colourful buzz of the Adderley Street Flower Market, hidden in plain sight, there’s a small but remarkable piece of Cape Town’s history. You might miss it if you're not looking: a three-metre marble fountain standing quietly among the bustle.

We can’t understand why Cape Town is the lively and bustling city it is today without a very brief geography and history lesson.

The Adderley Street Flower Market is more than a place to buy blooms — it’s a living thread in Cape Town’s cultural fabric, woven with stories, laughter, and generations of skill. Each bouquet reflects not only the region’s botanical beauty, but also the history of the women who have shaped this space.

Jack Lemkus and the Exchange Building show what happens when creativity is given room to experiment, collaborate, and grow. It’s not just a retail destination — it’s a living, breathing hub where Cape Town’s culture is shaped and shared every day.

We visited Merchants on Long to show how even the simplest interactions while shopping in Cape Town’s city centre offer us opportunities for cultural deep dives into the rich heritage storylines that shape and make our country what it is today.
