Greenmarket Square

One of South Africa's oldest public squares is Greenmarket Square, which is only a short stroll from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. This cobblestone courtyard, which was formerly a slave market, is today crowded with local sellers selling anything from painted linens to hand-made toys. Here are some tips and tactics for bargaining. Haggling is still commonplace, and if you work hard enough, you may get some great bargains. In the area, there are numerous cafes and eateries where you may enjoy a meal while taking in the sights.

Several "buskers" will keep you delighted as you browse the items with music, dance, and even mime. Please be aware that although the shopkeepers at Greenmarket are quite pleasant, they can sometimes be pushy when trying to sell you something. If you are not interested, either stay away from the stall or politely but firmly respond, "No, thank you."

It's the perfect spot to look for some unusual gifts and souvenirs because it has interesting products from all across the continent. The flea market has an especially large selection of arts and crafts. See the City Hall from the 1760s and rest your feet for a while in one of the nearby restaurants. The Michaelis collection, a wonderful art collection housed in the exquisite edifice, is the ideal compliment to the majestic surroundings. The flea market at Greenmarket Square is bustling every day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Although browsing is free, you might want to keep some cash on hand in case browsing leads into shopping.
