Here are some ways to make your Valentine’s Day truly special this year, whether it’s a romantic dinner, thrilling adventure or cultural rendezvous:
Sample your CBD’s saucy side:
With a world-class selection to choose from, ranging from a Neoteric Japanese African eating experience at FYN to sampling seasonal fare at Belly of the Beast, there is so much to choose from. You could even enjoy a nightcap at Gorgeous George’s Gigi Rooftop Bar or admire the stars at Sky Bar at the Grand Daddy Hotel.
Feel the heat of the Central City’s streets:
Slurp silky noodles at Ramenhead or chow crispy gyoza and mochi and Tjing Tjing Torii. If you’re in the mood for more South African flavours, try the bobotie and roosterkoek at Zanne’s Fare on Bree.
Sip the sophisticated side of town:
The CBD also features an elegant side that shines within its bars. Explore the cosmopolitan at The Drinkery, sneak through Wonka’s playground to the not-so-secret Gin Bar or go Talking to Strangers at 61 Loop.
Ride high with the CBD’s adventurous side:
For those looking for more adventure, visit Hotel Sky. Here, you can pop to the 28th floor for a jaw-dropping, gravity-defying, 100 km-per-hour drop and enjoy an unparalleled view of the City.
Sing and dance with the CBD’s soulful side:
The City is known for its diverse culture and art scene, which holds our shared histories, struggles, similarities, and soul. For a more culturally enriching and educational Valentine’s, pop over to the Cape Town Opera at Artscape for Puccini’s masterful storytelling or lean to bend and snap with Legally Blonde The Musical.
‘All these wonderful activities can be enjoyed in the heart of Cape Town, where the Central City Improvement District (CCID) ensures a clean and safe CBD,’ Tasso Evangelinos, CEO of the CCID.
‘We are incredibly proud of the work we do in the CBD. Thanks to our cleaning teams and additional security personnel, we are creating a world-class CBD that is open for business, and it is also a reason why international investors love our city.’
