10 WANDER THROUGH
THE COMPANY’S GARDEN
11 GO TO THE BEACH
Cape Town is home to some of
the most beautiful beaches in the
world. Whether you like to surf,
swim or just lie in the sand and
watch the world go by, there’s
a beach for you in Cape Town.
You’ll find the Company’s Garden in
the city centre. It’s well-known for
the perpetually hungry squirrels, so
take along some peanuts. And the
garden offers free wifi.
Your UCT student card not only opens doors
(quite literally) on campus; it’s also a passport to
discounts and freebies in and around Cape Town.
