Things to do in Cape Town Central, Western Cape: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

South Africans are found selling wire animals everywhere that tourists stop. Don’t buy any until you go to Streetwires. Their animals are so much more skillfully made than any you will see on the streets. We were in CapeTown on a Saturday so we did not get to see the artisans making their products. That would make this stop even better. But we were thrilled with our purchases, and they packed up boxes of treasure to send home for us. Prices are reasonable, and the people working there are friendly and very helpful. A great stop!

I had the pleasure of visiting this space last week. What a wonderful place. It is an art studio, but also a vintage shop and a very unique handbag shop. The resident artist Alex Hamilton is very friendly and keen to share his stories and show you his work and his creative process. There are ;its of art for sale at really affordable prices. The collectables are great, and the handbags, made by his wife, Zelda are very unique and beautiful. She makes them from vintage tapestries and old retro fabric. I had to buy one, Could not resist. This place is a bit hidden away, but once you found it you won't be sorry. Really a great find.
