Art, culture, adventure, food and history on a budget in Century City
If you think Century City is nothing but a concrete jungle, think again! It is an oasis of fun with green spaces and immaculate views of Table Mountain.
And is you find yourself in need of an adventure, here are 5 activities you must experience in Century City:
1. Long March to Freedom. There is a feeling of greatness that overcomes you the minute you step between the statues made of bronze. Here lies South African history, captured in way that makes you feel part of the story.
2. Enjoy a coffee and a croissant at the kiosk at Gusto Italian Restaurant.
3. An informative boat tour around Intaka Island. Trust me, not many know that you can sail around Intaka Island with dozens of bird species swooping around you. It is a protected area and the boat tour gives you a sneak peek into the lives of the people who live on the water’s edge. The guide is a vat of information on the area who also highlights the ongoings since Century City was built.
4. A leisurely Art Walk around the precinct – there are sculptures and paintings by world-famous artists that will take your breath away. Look under a bridge, and in the centre of a bustling square – art fills the spaces you wouldn’t expect to find them.
5. Picnic on the greenway at Ratanga Urban Park. It’s the perfect spot for a lunch time treat or a lazy lie down – and when it’s complete there’ll be more areas to enjoy.
There are pockets of places all around Century City that you didn’t know existed and you’ll be surprised at the cost-effectiveness of all these activities.
Best of all it’s pocket-friendly!
