Cape Town

As major world cities go, Cape Town is pretty affordable. Eating out is fairly cheap by European or North American standards, and many of the museums and smaller attractions charge only a modest fee. However, if you’re seeking to save a little more, there are ways to experience the art, culture, and natural beauty of the Mother City without opening your wallet, leaving you with more rands to spend on local cuisine, souvenirs, or supporting one of the many community tourism projects.

GoTravelDaily Local Lucy Corne fell in love with Cape Town following an overland trip across the continent. She was captivated by its mountain-meets-beach beauty, its laid-back attitude to life, and its vibrant dining scene. She moved there in 2010, and every time she catches a glimpse of glorious Table Mountain, she considers herself one very lucky lady.
