Gardens Shopping Centre

Gardens Shopping Centre is the City Bowl's most popular shopping oasis. Quite fittingly, this one-stop source of life's little luxuries and daily necessities, is just a stone's throw from Cape Town's original 17th Century provisioning hub, the Company Gardens. It is also one of the city's most established shopping centres and as quintessentially Cape Town as Table Mountain. It's the rendezvous of a cosmopolitan café society and a quiet, personable shopping alternative to those sprawling malls elsewhere in Cape Town. Regular customers visit the centre for its unique high-street, boutique-style offerings - such as food outlets, arts and crafts supplies, and health and beauty stores. There are over 70 specialist shops - from a tobacconist, fashion, homeware décor and gift stores, with goods that often grace the pages of fashion and lifestyle magazines.
