Inner City Living @ Green Market Square

Neighborhoods

Every morning, traders lug carts loaded with wares to the square to set up, and by the the time the rest of the city awakes the cobbled square is a bustling market filled with curios, food, buskers, jewellery, clothing, and nick-nacks. This is one of the best places in Cape Town to buy curios and gifts for your loved ones back home, while supporting the entrepreneurial traders. There are amazing canvas artworks on sale, along with leather goods like sandals, hand-crafted jewellery, ornaments, and much more. You could spend hours weaving between the colourful stalls, meeting some eccentric local characters and finding treasures to take home with you. Remember that while bargaining is a big part of the informal economy, the traders make their living on these sales so always pay a fair price and don’t haggle just for the sake of it. There are a number of free concerts that take place on Greenmarket Square, including the annual community concert that forms part of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival. On the first Thursday of every month you’ll also find this is a hub for First Thursdays, with live music performances throughout the evening. But you don’t need to wait for these more formal events to catch Cape Town’s beats. Every day the square hosts buskers and street performers, making it a lively place with a distinctly Southern African feel any day of the week.

Our favourite neighbourhood spot. Beautiful, tranquil place on the roof top of a heritage building next door. Depending on the time of the day, you might have to book in advance during busiest season.
