Cape Town represents excellent value for money for shoppers, and many well-heeled visitors come here for little else. The Cape Times and Argus run regular gleeful stories reporting on individual tourists who spend millions of Rand in a few days’ visit. While this is rather above most visitors’ budgets, stocking up on curios, clothes and crafts is well worth it. The main shopping area is the V & A Waterfront, which is crammed with clothes, souvenir, music and crafts shops – but prices are a little over the average here. The city centre also has a good range, with a couple of craft markets, some excellent second-hand book, antique and bric-a-brac shops and a handful of trendy clothes shops. Capetonians stick to their trusted shopping malls, the largest and glitziest is Century City off the N1 to Belville, 15 minutes from the city centre, home also to Ratanga Junction. More accessible and not quite as overwhelming is Cavendish Square in Claremont. Most of the better clothes chains and small boutiques are in Cape Town’s shopping malls. Long St and Kloof St are good bets for more alternative clothes.
