Having fun in Cape Town doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag. In fact, there's a lot you can do for no price at all. Whether you're outdoorsy or the indoor type, here's a treasure trove of 24+ things you can do in and around the city for 2024.

PLAY BEACH VOLLEYBALL EVERY THURSDAY

Friends Who Volley is a weekly event on Clifton 1st beach with volleyball games, sunsets and live music. It’s a great way to end off an evening in the summer and make new friends. Players don’t need to be professional and spectators are welcome to dance to the DJs or dip in the water. Plus, playing volleyball is totally free.
