If markets are what you’re looking for, Cape Town makes it easy for you. It’s almost impossible to spend any time here and not end up at one. The Bay Harbour Market in Hout Bay is one of the better ones, a little more eclectic, a little less full of trendsters, lots of tasty food and interesting goodies, and it’s indoors, so it’s good for rainy day

Entertainment & Shopping Complex, I used to believe that the Waterfront was just for tourists. It is touristy but great care has been taken to attract locals. I highly recommend a day here.
