paradise and has some of the most modern shopping malls and precincts in the world offering a wide range of
merchandise. In true Cape Town diversity you can shop
at street side markets or browse quaint independent

centres have foreign exchange bureaus. You can draw
money with your international bank and credit cards
from almost any ATM.
