Name of Shop: A tourist trap??

The african market is a great place to get your souvenirs as most of the stuff is good qaulity but it may be more expensive than informal stalls on the road

The shopping Mall will have everything you would expect. There is late night shopping seven days a week, the most convenient hours in the Western Cape. In addition there are boat rides, cinemas and restaurants.

Theme: Department Store
Directions: Near Milnerton

You’ll find unique handcrafted items at many roadside stalls along Cape Town’s main roads and scenic drives. Don’t just stop at the first one you see – it’s worth shopping around because as the quality varies, so does the price. Most vendors will be happy to barter with you.
