As we wrap up the last week of July, the Mother City is caught between crisp blue skies and the brewing drama of a classic Cape winter storm. After a few surprisingly warm days, we’re bracing for a wild weather swing - but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Whether you're hiking Lion’s Head in a sunbreak, planning a cosy escape to Somerset West, or settling in at one of Cape Town’s best sports bars to catch the game, this week’s newsletter is packed with inspiration. From vibrant flower trails to the stillness of Zoar and our bouncing giveaway winner at Rush, there’s no shortage of things to do, come rain or shine.

Cape Town Quick Facts - Food & Drink
"Cape Town baristas take their latte art so seriously, you might feel guilty taking the first sip.”
 | The Lion’s Head Cape Town hike is one of the most popular trails on the peninsula, and it’s not hard to see why. Sitting between Table Mountain and Signal Hill, it offers jaw-dropping 360-degree views of the city, ocean, and surrounding mountains. The trail is short enough to fit into a half-day but scenic enough to feel like a full-blown outdoor adventure. |
Get ready for another week of exploring Cape Town! Our amazing partners at MSC Cruises, La Cabriere, Rush and Africaworks are proud sponsors of this week’s newsletter.
Step into stillness: Exploring the peaceful town of Zoar invites you to leave behind the noise of the city and immerse yourself in the calm charm of one of the Klein Karoo’s most overlooked treasures. Tucked between towering mountains and rolling farmlands, Zoar offers a sense of serenity that’s impossible to fake and unforgettable once experienced. |  |
 | When it comes to watching the big game, nothing beats the vibe of a proper sports bar. Cape Town has no shortage of watering holes where you can grab a cold one, enjoy a lekker burger, and cheer for your team with a room full of passionate fans. Whether you’re into rugby, football, cricket, or F1, there’s a spot for you. We’ve rounded up some of the best sports bars in Cape Town, each with its unique flavour. |
