The city is well known for its great food – where people can choose between an array of different styles of cuisine, from African eateries, seafood restaurants, classic bistros and everything in-between. Wine bars and traditional pubs are also popular hang-outs.
The city has a radical art scene, with numerous galleries that showcase the works of promising artists. It also has a vibrant and diverse music scene and busy nightlife. There are a number of inner-city markets to visit, from the Hope Street Market where you will find organic foods, antique furniture and artisan beer to Green Market Square where you will find African arts and crafts of every description.
