When it rains stay indoors … but not at home

25+ ways to spend a winter’s day in Cape Town

Last updated: Tuesday, 7 May 2024

Sure, stay indoors when it’s cold and wet... but who says you have to stay home? From free and affordable to cosy and romantic, there’s lots to choose from. Visit a self-portrait photo studio, indoor skatepark, once-in-a-lifetime art exhibition, free toffee tasting and more.

CAPE TOWN’S FIRST ARCADE BAR 

It’s become one of Cape Town’s coolest bars. Why? Because it’s also an arcade. Barcadia has classic games like Rave Racer, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Terminator 2, and Tekken 3. The games are free to play when you buy a drink. There’s popcorn, sodas on tap, beers, ciders and spirits. Find out more about retro Barcadia.  

Hours: Tuesdays to Saturdays, 1pm to 2am
Cost: From R15 for soda on tap
