Any day of the week
Sunday Funday
Take it easy on Sunday with
a picnic in the Kirstenbosch
National Botanical Garden,
which offers discounted tickets
for students. Or head into town
to the Company’s Garden and
consider visiting the National
Gallery while you’re at it. If you
fancy a day at the seaside, hop
on a Southern Line train for the
return trip to Simon’s Town.
Any day of the week
Every day since 1864 the
Noon Gun on Signal Hill has
marked 12:00 with an almighty
boom. You can go and see the
cannon fire for yourself any
day of the week – just follow
the signs from Wale Street.
On your way back down the
hill, why not stop in at the
Iziko Bo-kaap Museum ,
Atlas Spices or Biesmillah’s
for a koesister?

Once a month
Listen to jazz in an informal and
intimate environment at Jazz in
the Native Yards. In the tradition
of backyard jazz, this monthly gig
brings the best jazz performers
(including many students and alumni
of UCT’s South African College of
Music) to Kwa Sec in Gugulethu.
Head out to 52 Ny 138 Street,
Gugulethu, on the first (or last)
Sunday of the month – check their
Facebook page for details.

Simon’s Town
There is no dish more Capetonian
than the gatsby sandwich, and
no better place to feast on this
decadent dish than The Golden
Dish in Gatesville. They have
30 varieties of the foot-long
on offer, presided over by the
Full House – masala steak, egg,
cheese, chips and salad. Grab a
roll and split it with three friends.
