Long Street

Welcome to the Long Street attraction page - in addition to guides like this post we also list a broad selection of hotels, B&B's, guesthouses and self-catering establishments. Please view our Cape Town page if you're looking for Cape Town accommodation. Long Street runs though Cape Town central parallel to St George's Mall and it is the very heart of Cape Town's nightlife. The street is lined with old victorian buildings ornamented with wrought iron, but, despite this classical exterior and the cultured experience it presents during daylight hours, the street presents a more modern and lively experience by night.

By night, the street pounds with bass, is a buzz with people, and the variety of entertainment options is simply staggering. From hard rock to techno to reggae to smooth jazz, you can find any type of entertainment on Long Street. Street vendors, selling food that nobody would eat sober, set up shop up and down the street to serve the clubs' patrons, but if your pallet is somewhat more cultured there are also a variety of excellent restaurants offering cuisine from Indian to Moroccan to Italian foods.

By day, the street is still a worthwhile experience spotted with numerous African curio markets, young and funky clothing and design stores, pawn shops, second-hand books stores and alternative coffee spots. Greenmarket Square just a few meters away, too.
