What to do and see in Western Cape, South Africa: The Best Flea & Street Markets

January 17, 2022 Timmy Ribble

South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

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

This is a great local market that offers free parking and an easy drive from the coast. The market requires masks to enter and is encouraging hand sanitisation and social distancing. It had lots of different food stalls offering local and worldwide produce and local handmade good to buy and very easy to walk around. There was a great atmosphere and a train/tractor ride for the little ones to enjoy. The venue is also dog friendly.

Lourensford Market

** CLOSED for Winter | Reopening Sunday 1 September '19** Situated on the stunningly scenic and historic Lourensford Wine Estate, we didn’t have to add much to appeal to all the senses. When visiting, you are spoiled with sprawling lawns, majestic trees and newly landscaped, award-winning gardens with an interactive fountain. A rare and special space to soak up all of nature’s beauty! Add to that our vibrant market, boasting with more than 70 permanent stalls, as well as a number of Pop-ups to ensure an interesting mix. Housed in a permanent u-shaped structure with both a modern and rustic feel – it is unlike any other market space around. Quality products are our first priority and when strolling from vendor to vendor, you will find everything from delectable food, uniquely handmade wares and original art, to organic, locally sourced, artisanal produce. The Estate’s superb wine collection alongside ABRU craft beer, complement the inevitable festive atmosphere.

Rosebank Sunday Market is a MUST-SEE attraction if you love handmade arts and crafts. We had a wonderful day there, and I do recommend that you spend several hours in order to see it all. Lunch can be had there too, there are many delicious food stands. We bought ALL of our presents and souvenirs at this market and we were done. I met the makers of the jewelry I bought and I am thrilled with the entire experience. Really great! I can't recommend this enough.
