We saw the rave reviews about the market and went relatively early on a Saturday to get the full experience. It was a good call to leave early as the parking situation is not great and we were lucky to find a space. The market itself is spilt into a foodie section and other goods (shoes, clothing, leather goods, etc.). The foodie bit is great, a real experience. You could find all the different foods you never knew you wanted to try. We had an excellent breakfast, which was so generous that it filled us up for almost the entire day. We got some ceramics and other bits and pieces. We liked it so much that we wanted to go back another day to have a look at the surrounding area without the hussle and bustle of a busy Saturday. If you can spend some time walk around the area, if you're lucky enough to live in South Africa definately go there to check out all the different interior shops. They are amazing and the prices seemed very fair too. It's an arty area with lots of street art and galleries. Most enjoyable

è un mercato che si tiene alla domenica davanti allo stadio di Green Point

Many vendors have set up stalls in the Green Street park area. After reading previous reviews, we did not expect much but we were greatly surprised at the variety, quality and unique souvenirs. Sure some of the vendors wanted us to look at their merchandise but we have experienced very aggressive vendors in Mexico and these do not compare to them at all. The prices are inflated but the vendors expect to barter with you. Do not go if you do not want to barter for lower prices. I bought some scarves with elephants and zebras. We bought a springbok skin that was beautiful and reasonably priced. My son found an African designed stone plate and my daughter found a silver Tree of Life necklace. We have seen the exact same merchandise in brick and mortar stores and the prices are a lot higher especially in the V& A Waterfront. Highly recommend shopping here. We only paid in cash and not sure that credit cards are accepted.
4. Greenmarket Square
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 1,263 reviews
Greenmarket Square is one of Cape town's oldest markets, full of crafts, jewelry, clothing and curios at a great value.
Reviewed By TheSnowDog - Accrington, United Kingdom
Greenmarket Square is a great place to visit in the daytime for souvenirs. There is a completely hassle free environment. With vendors ensuring your not harassed by people on the periphery. Bargaining is usual but it’s not aggressive in any way. Our hotel was directly over-looking the market. A word of caution though - once the market has packet up. The area completely changes and it’s like running a gauntlet to get to the restaurants across the square in the evening. With beggars aggressively hassling you. In the day time there is security/tourist type police highly visible. The evening is totally different in this area. Be aware/cautious of you surroundings after dark in this area.
