Cape Town is by its nature a playful city (materialists left for
Johannesburg or London long ago). But the diversions of Cape Town
tend to be the beaches, sports, mountain walks, day-trips, wine
tasting and by evening, sunsets and fine dining. The arts are
necessarily constrained by finances and there are few theatres and
concert venues. Museums are, equally, strapped for cash, although a
few are well worth a visit. However, the love of music
(particularly jazz) is very strong and cinema, too, is popular.
There are also some venues for nightlife and a theme park.
Festivals and special events are frequent, so check when you're in
town.
