As a very small child my grandmothers used to take us to the gardens and this was a big treat! I took my own children there, and their grandmother also took them there regularly.

After the hustle and bustle of Cape Town CBD the restfulness of the Company Gardens is bliss. Buy a bag of peanuts from one of the vendors and giggle as squirrels scamper up your body to get some and you are surrounded by a cloud of pigeons.

The gardens are immaculately kept, with huge bird cages housing hundreds of beautiful birds and lots of fish ponds and beautiful shady places to sit and relax and view the beautiful surroundings. There is also a lovely restaurant.

I love walking through Company Gardens, enjoying the nature in the center of CBD, taking time off to stop and watch table mountain, signal hill or lion s head.... Strolling through the rose garden or the museum, enjoy a picnic or some music in the park...

Nice place to take a breather from running around from one site to the next. Not too large, but pleasant.

With a couple of places to eat, on the edge of the Houses of Parliament, right by the observatory. This is a great place to chill in the center of town if you don't have transport.

I went to drink Tea in the Garden, it is a wonderful place to walk through , rest up from the lengthy walks through Cape \town. And even though there was no special activity on this day, the At Market and Xmas Market and concert weve attended before are beautifully set there, may it be with us for a long... More

Lovely place and quiet yet still in the middle of town. Lots of birds and squirrels around that love to be fed. Plenty of benches to sit on and just relax under the sun or shade.

After strolling around Cape Town shops & markets this is a lovely area in which to relax. The crystals suspended around fountain provide a stunning sun powered light show.
