March in Cape Town
The City Bowl and Gardens put you in the historic, walkable centre beneath Table Mountain, close to museums, restaurants and the Company's Garden, with the widest hotel range. The V&A Waterfront is safe, polished and easy, with the harbour, shops and ferries on the doorstep, at higher prices and with less local life. Camps Bay is for the beach and the Atlantic view, beautiful on a sunny day but 20–30 minutes from the centre and cold and windy when the weather turns.
