Bazar: A very lively place, in the summer a nice place to have a late meal or drink outside. And super easy to get to, right across the street from the apartment

A covered market place where you can buy and eat all sorts of foods. Get yourself a cheese platter and a strong beer from the "Kaapse brouwers". Sit outside near the water when the weather allows it.

Drinks & Nightlife

de Witte Aap: most likely the most famous bar in the street. Don't miss it, it's great, a wide variety of people go there; on a Friday or Saturday evening everyone is in heat :-)

A wooden bridge starting near Biergarten and ending in the Pompenburg parc connecting two parts of the city divided by the train tracks and busy street. Paid for by crowdfunders, I was one of them :-)
