PAN INTERNATIONAL: Cape Town

From Cape Town to Mexico City. Venice to Tokyo.

We travel to source, to learn, to see, to create and along the way — we take notes. 

These are cities we return to time and again — places layered with culture, food, adventure and daily wonder. The longer we spend in them, the more they reveal.

We are drawn to the seemingly ordinary: the surfaces, textures, colours, street signage, small details that shape a place, the mood. 

Here is something to cross-check against what you already have in mind, to confirm the must-sees and perhaps surface one or two you hadn't considered. Take what’s useful and enjoy our observations of the cities we wander through.

Scroll for notes.

Our Cape Town Essentials:

It is imperative you visit Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa and La Perla for lunch or dinner. Chapman’s Peak Drive is beautiful so hire a car and drive to Paternoster and dine at Wolfgat (1.5 hours and worth it). Explore the beautiful fishing town, Oranjezicht Farmers Market, Ouzeri restaurant. Enjoy wandering the streets of Bo-Kaap. Make sure to pop into the Iziko Museum, Michael Stevenson Gallery and Kloof Street. Before you go, it is worth a stop to Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town. 

Enjoy your travels, Pan After
