Shopping in Cape Town
For souvenirs and crafts, compare the V&A Waterfront with Greenmarket Square and the lower end of Long Street. The setting and selection differ, so allow time to browse before buying.

Keep exploring Cape Town with our travel partners.
The V&A Waterfront is a convenient starting point, while Greenmarket Square and Long Street offer a more hands-on search through crafts and curios. Church Street is another place to look if an object's origin matters to you. Comparing a few sellers helps you distinguish a meaningful purchase from a quick souvenir.
Useful to know
Browse Greenmarket Square before settling on a curio; open-market prices may be negotiable.
For an older or specialist object on Church Street, ask the seller about its origin and documentation.
Check current market days and opening times before making a special trip.
