Cape Town is generally considered quite affordable to visit, in comparison to popular cities in Europe and North America. Travelling around the city is relatively cheap, and both taxis and buses are generally affordable.
There are also many free things to do in Cape Town, including one of the city's top activities – hiking or riding the cable car up Table Mountain to marvel at the views. Other great free activities include walking around Bo-Kaap (a vibrant central neighbourhood filled with brightly coloured houses,  shops and restaurants) and relaxing in one of the city’s many public parks and gardens. There are also a number of museums and galleries that are free or with relatively cheap entry fees.  Many others open their doors for free on the first Thursday of every month.
