If you want the business district or a place that gives you a feel of home and privacy, there is always a place for you. So hop on and get going for some action in the scenic city. The city is relatively small, and you can go around on foot to see the sights. You can tramp to the V&A Waterfront with a local but get a ride to Camps Bay. Sadly, the place has a high crime rate, but that should not stop you from getting around. Do not bring all your money or show off your mobile phone and digicam to avoid covetous eyes and fast fingers. •	Green Point Flea Market. If you are looking for fun activities that will not burn a hole in your pocket, you might enjoy the festive atmosphere in the biggest flea market in the Cape.

Hie off to Table Bay, and get a good view of the ancient fortress built with stone, clay, and timber by the Dutch East India Company. It was first a replenishment station for docking ships but became a fortress in readiness for war when Britain and Netherlands were not seeing eye to eye in 1664. •	Llandudno Beach. Just an hour away you’ll have a whale of a good time taking in the beach scene with waves continually battering the rocky slopes. The secluded cove is perfect for visitors some peace and quiet. If you dare, sign up for the following fun: •	Hot Air Balloon Ride. Get a sweeping view of Cape Winelands from the air. As early as 5 a.m., you have to be at the meeting site. After rigging, be up in the air in just 30 minutes. •	Two Oceans Aquarium. Dive into the depths in a cage and see sharks up close and watch the giant kelps and feed the fish. •	Table Mountain. Conquer Table Mountain by climbing the rock or ride a cable and get as close as you hang to the gorgeous mountain. Or go abseiling and have your fun captured on video so you can show it off at home. If you are planning a week’s stay, then you are in.
