The Saturday market at the Old Biscuit Mill has been a favourite for locals for years now. As evidenced by the crowds that are still present. Mouthwatering food and drinks. A great way to start the weekend. Note - Parking near the market can be an issue. Highly recommend catching an uber instead.

This is a relatively easy hike. Much easier than Table Mountain. Takes about 40-60min to climb up, and then again as much to climb back down. Very popular trail, which means it's pretty safe. Fantastic 360 views from the peak.

Should the weather be too hot, I recommend Skeleton Gorge as a hike as the majority of the hike is under a tree canopy as it ascends the mountain.

If you come to Cape Town, you really should go visit the mountain. For the energetic people, I recommend hiking up via Platteklip Gorge or Indian Venster. And then catching the cable car back down.
