14:30
Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art
Walk through the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art while the light is soft and the galleries are quiet. The building itself, a converted grain silo, is an experience.
15:30
Head to Greek Fisherman for authentic Mediterranean tapas. It is close by and perfect for a relaxed lunch before the afternoon heat peaks.
17:00
Walk up Signal Hill. This flat-topped summit offers the best view of the harbour and Table Mountain. Find a spot on the western edge as the afternoon wears on.
20:00
Stay put for the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a golden glow over the water and the city below.
21:00
End the evening at Mitchells Ale House. Enjoy a craft beer with a view of the Cape Town harbour and Table Mountain as the lights of the city begin to twinkle.
Local tip
The museum opens at 10.00 and the last admission is at 17.30. Arriving early ensures you beat the tour groups. Signal Hill can get windy, so bring a layer for the sunset.
