The Central City is, without a doubt, the pulse of Cape Town. Despite having moved overseas twice, I’ve always returned home and the CBD is the fi rst place I visit. There’s a magic that draws you back, and over the years I’ve seen it blossom into full colour.
We’ve refl ected that colour in this year’s guide, enabling you to colour in your own favourite version of the Central City.
Jointly produced by New Media Publishing and the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID), the 2016 edition offers you a glimpse of the myriad on offer in this amazing downtown.

SAFE CLEAN CARING OPEN FOR BUSINESSWelcome to the Cape Town Central City
This guide has been prepared to ensure your stay in our CBD – whether you are a local or a visitor – is the best it can be.
It’s brought to you by the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID), a non-profit organisation that operates within a very specific geographical area (see the map that follows on page 4) to provide top-up services over and above those provided by our partners in the CBD, namely the City of Cape Town and the South African Police Service (SAPS).
With our vision to be “safe, clean, caring and open for business”, the CCID’s work falls into four departments – Safety & Security, Urban Management, Communications, and Social Develop-ment – all backed by a 600-strong work-force on the ground.
Along with our day-to-day operations, we also run a variety of campaigns, particularly aimed at engaging with the public on the street, and there are two we’d like you to know about as well.
The “GIVE RESPONSIBLY” campaign, developed in 2008 by our Social Develop-ment department asks that you consider giving a “hand up rather than a hand out” to people begging on the street. When you do give a handout, you perpetuate the problems that “lock” these individuals into a life on the streets – no matter how sympathetic you may feel to their plight.
This can often lead to aggressive begging, and compromise your feeling safe on our streets. Rather support the NGOs that are involved in skills development and rehabilitation. To make this as easy as possible for you, we have a dedicated SMS donation line as well as a SnapScan option (see opposite for details).
Our “STASH IT, DON’T FLASH IT” campaign encourages you to keep your valuables out of sight when you park your car, and keep your personal items safely on you when you walk around or enjoy our streets.
Both of these speak to the same common-sense attitude anyone would take in a busy urban area, and will ensure that you enjoy ours to the full potential of what it has to offer.
Please remember that what you’ll find here in the guide is just a taste of what’s on offer: to find information on all the venues and services we have on offer in our CBD, we’ve created a brand new web and mobi site, which you’ll find out more about on the next page.
Enjoy the Cape Town Central City and our 2016 guide.

TOP
The best things in life are free – we’ve rounded up the top fi ve free sights to see in the Central City.
1 2PIER PLACE STATUESVisit this public square to view the collection of life-like statues depicting everyday life, courtesy of artist Egon Tania.
THE COMPANY’S GARDENThe gardens, established by the Dutch East India Company as a fruit and veg patch in 1652, are an oasis of greenery tucked away in the middle of the city. Feed the squirrels or wander along the tree-lined walkways for a touch of calm in the bustling CBD.
GREENMARKET SQUAREWith its craft stalls, cafés and art-deco buildings, Greenmarket Square is an atmospheric place to buy craftwork from across Africa.
CENTRE FOR THE BOOKThis centre’s aim is to promote a culture of reading, writing and publishing in local languages. Don’t miss its poetry readings, writing groups and workshops.
ST GEORGE’S CATHEDRAL CHOIRThe St George’s Cathedral choir offers free performances, in addition to the full choral evensong that is sung every Sunday evening.
DID YOU KNOW? The Minstrel Parade on 2 January is a tradition that dates back to the days of slavery, when the day after New Year (so-called Tweede Nuwejaar) was a holiday.

MuseuMs Cape Town Holocaust Centre 88 Hatfield Street, 021 462 5553, www.holocaust.org.za P10This poignant museum, located in the same complex as the South African Jewish Museum, commemorates the suffering and bravery of the Jews in 20th-century Europe. The first of its kind in Africa, it evokes the past through archival material and multimedia displays. District Six Museum 25A Buitenkant Street, 021 466 7200, www.districtsix.co.za P32The area between Woodstock and the East City recalls the rich and turbulent history of District Six. This museum pays homage to those who were uprooted from this area.
Iziko Bertram House Hiddingh Campus, Orange Street, 021 481 3972, www.iziko.org.za P10Bertram House, built in 1839, is the only surviving example of the English Georgian-style brick residences that were once common in Cape Town. The opulent interiors will give you insight into the life of a colonial family, with details such as a card table set for a game in the study.
Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum 71 Wale Street, 021 481 3938, www.iziko.org.za P1Get a full understanding of the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood’s distinct culture before wandering its cobbled streets lined with pastel houses and mosques. This small museum gives some background on the Islamic area, which was originally settled by workers brought from Asia by the Dutch.
Iziko Koopmans-De Wet House 35 Strand Street, 021 481 3935, www.iziko.org.za P13This refined Neoclassical abode offers a glimpse into how the very wealthy lived in late 18th-century Cape Town. You can tour several rooms on two floors, all
scattered with some of South Africa’s finest Cape furniture and silver, plus a priceless ceramic collection.
Iziko Planetarium 25 Queen Victoria Street, 021 481 3900, www.iziko.org.za P10This celestial theatre in the round utilises the complex Minolta star machine and multiple projectors to transport the audience through the universe’s endless wonders. Whatever the weather outside, the night sky in the domed auditorium is clear, offering an audio-visual spectacle in the daily shows.
Iziko Rust en Vreugd 78 Buitenkant Street, 021 481 3903, www.iziko.org.za P32This house, which means ‘rest and joy’ in Dutch, was built for a high-ranking Dutch East India Company official. With its period garden and programme of art exhibitions, the three-storey building certainly lives up to its name.
Iziko Slave Lodge Cnr Adderley and Wale streets, 021 467 7229, www.iziko.org.za P11The Dutch East India Company built the Slave Lodge in 1679, where it confined 9 000 slaves, convicts and mentally ill people over the following century.

Iziko Social History Centre 17 Church Square, 021 461 3375, www.iziko.org.za P22This museum in the National Mutual Building, which was designed by Sir Herbert Baker, houses a wide-ranging anthropological collection. Exhibits include indigenous cultural material from across southern Africa, colonial artefacts from the Cape, as well as maritime items, ceramics, furniture, coins and textiles.
Iziko South African Museum 25 Queen Victoria Street, 021 481 3800, www.iziko.org.za P10This 190-year-old museum houses more than 1.5 million specimens of scientifi c importance, ranging from millennia-old fossils to insects and fi sh caught last week. While the focus is on human history, mankind is not left out – look out for stone tools made 120 000 years ago.
Iziko William Fehr Collection at the Castle of Good Hope Cnr Buitenkant and Darling streets, 021 467 7205, www.iziko.org.za P32Assembled by late businessman William Fehr and acquired by the
South African government in 1964, this collection of 17th- to 19th-century furniture and oil paintings is housed in the Castle of Good Hope. Fehr’s collection of watercolours, prints and drawings is on display at Rust en Vreugd.
Museum of Gems & Jewellery Cnr Loop and Hout streets, 021 422 0148, www.prinsandprins.com/prins-prins-diamonds-museum-gems-jewellery P5This museum at Prins & Prins Diamonds tells the story of man’s Gollum-like relationship with shiny stones. Coverage is given to famous South African fi nds, including the Cullinan Diamond and Blombos jewellery, and to the coveted rocks’ formation three billion years ago.
South African Jewish Museum 88 Hatfi eld Street, 021 465 1546, www.sajewishmuseum.co.za P10 This museum covers the Jewish experience in South Africa from the 19th-century immigrants onwards, with a good mix of artefacts and technology on display.

South African Slave Church Museum 40 Long Street, 021 423 6755 P7 This modest structure in Long Street was built in 1804 as the fi rst offi cial slave church in the country. Today it houses a small museum depicting the history of missionary work in South Africa.
PLACES OF WORSHIP Auwal Masjid 39 Dorp Street, 082 551 7324, www.auwalmasjid.co.za P11South Africa’s oldest mosque was established in 1794 by Tuan Guru, the Indonesian prince and imam who is regarded as the father of Islam here. The mosque is a symbol of the Cape
Muslim struggle for the recognition of Islam and the right to practise their religion.
Central Methodist Mission Cnr Longmarket and Burg streets, 021 422 2744, www.cmm.org.za P11 Opened in 1879, this Gothic Revival church has seen much history, including, in 1928, South Africa’s fi rst radio broadcast of a church service. Its multiracial congregation was formed in 1988. Visitors are welcome to admire the grand interior and stained-glass windows.
Die Groote Kerk Adderley Street, 021 422 0569, www.grootekerk.org.za P11This venerable old church was the fi rst Christian place of worship erected in the Cape, soon after the Dutch arrived in 1652. Its cornerstone was laid in 1700 and it remains the matriarch of the Dutch Reformed Church in Cape Town.
Evangelical Lutheran Church 98 Strand Street, 021 421 5854, www.lutheranchurch.org.za P3Dating to 1774, this Lutheran church is South Africa’s oldest church in permanent service and forms part of the country’s oldest city block. While you’re there, look out for the carvings inside by German sculptor Anton Anreith, whose work is regarded as the pinnacle of the Cape Baroque style.
Great Synagogue 88 Hatfi eld Street, 021 465 1405, www.gardensshul.org P10 Also known as the Gardens Shul, this beautiful building dates back to 1905 and has a distinctive dome and towers. The elegant interior features a carved teak pulpit, gold-leaf friezes and stained-glass windows. The neighbouring Old Synagogue (1863) is South Africa’s oldest.

The vibrant mix of cultures that come together everywhere you look makes you feel like you’re in a different country with every conversation. It’s one of the only cities I’ve ever lived in where one can work hard and enjoy an incredible quality of life outside of work. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE SIGHTSEEING SPOTS IN THE CENTRAL CITY? I really enjoy The Company’s Garden, which I visit on occasion. There’s always an air of calm and fun about the place that allows me to relax while taking a leisurely stroll.IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE CAPE TOWN IN THREE WORDS WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Wanderlust-heaven; breathtaking; inspiring.

WHAT MAKES CAPE TOWN’S CENTRAL CITY LIKE NO OTHER CBD IN THE WORLD? Its unique combination of natural beauty, history and diversity of cultures and people, its warm and generous spirit and vibrant pulse combined with its relaxed pace and beautiful environment.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE HOTELS IN THE CENTRAL CITY? I enjoy Taj Cape Town – it has great teas, is central and a beautifully done mixture of classic and modern. African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel has beautiful design and is a fun place to be!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING TO DO WHEN STAYING IN A HOTEL? When I fi rst arrive, relaxing in my bathrobe and unwinding in a beautiful room, taking in the environment and taking my time. Always a bonus if it has a great restaurant and of course I enjoya good mas sage!
IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE CAPE TOWN IN FOUR WORDS WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Vibrant; eclectic; nature; beauty.

ESSENTIALSThe Central City is pretty easy to navigate, especially since most of it can be explored on foot. However, there are various transport options available. For more information on public transport call the City of Cape Town’s Transport Information Centre (TIC) on the toll-free number 0800 65 64 63, 24 hours a day.

LET MYCITI TAKE YOU PLACESEnjoy the best Cape Town’s vibrant central city has to offer with MyCiTi, the easy way to get around.
The historic heart of the city is famous for its unique character. There are art galleries, museums and markets, craft, fashion and design stores to explore, as well as many restaurants, cafes and bars inspired by local and global culture and cuisine. Whether it is live music you are after, or a quiet time in the natural surroundings of the Company’s Gardens, MyCiTi will get you there and back.
MyCiTi buses operate up to 18 hours a day, depending on the route, so you can plan a long day – and evening – out and about. MyCiTi does not accept cash on the buses. All passengers aged four and over need their own myconnect card to travel. Get these for R30 at MyCiTi station kiosks and selected retailers and load with money to pay for your travel. Tap in and tap out and you’re there.
