Looking for things to do in Cape Town during Women’s Month? Every woman will have a unique way to celebrate this month.
Some would choose something adventurous, while others might opt for a more relaxed day out, getting reacquainted with old friends or acquaintances, trying something new, or simply doing something that will bring them peace of mind.
The Cape Town Big 6 attractions has everything you’ll need for the best ways to celebrate. From world-renowned coastlines and mountain ranges, to beautiful gardens and historical sites, the list goes on!
Things To Do in Cape Town During Women’s Month
Cape Point: For the Adventurer
Few places will give you the experience of feeling empowered like Cape Point. Hike your way up towering cliffs and enjoy breathtaking ocean vistas that go all the way to the horizon.
As the Flying Dutchman Funicular is currently closed for maintenance until 1st September 2026, the public is advised to access the lighthouse by foot or by taking advantage of the shuttle service provided. The remainder of Cape Point, including the Two Oceans Restaurant, is fully operational.
Groot Constantia: For the Foodie
Sometimes it’s only right that celebrations continue for longer than just one day. At Groot Constantia, Women’s Month can be celebrated with a wine-tasting session at the oldest wine-producing farm in South Africa, spending time exploring the area, having lunch while looking at the vineyards, or spoiling yourself or the gals in your life at the Wine & Gift Shop.
Kirstenbosch: For the Nature Lover
If you wish to find a place that you can unwind and regenerate, Kirstenbosch will never let you down. Go and walk along the Boomslang Tree Canopy Walkway, roam through the gardens or simply relax on a quiet spot near the slopes of Table Mountain. It is one of those places where one hour is likely to turn into an afternoon. Book yourself a lunch break at Fynkos Restaurant or MOYO to have your lunch as you overlook the natural beauty of the gardens.
Robben Island Museum: For the Curious Mind
Women’s Month presents an occasion for thinking about the individuals responsible for contributing to the history of South Africa.
A visit to the Robben Island Museum presents a chance for one to gain knowledge on the path taken in South Africa towards freedom and democracy. The journey becomes all the more worthwhile knowing the firsthand accounts from the guides of this historical period. It reminds us that resilience, courage, and determination live on to inspire future generations.
Table Mountain: For the Challenger
Table Mountain has always represented possibility. While the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway will be closed for annual maintenance from 27 July to 9 August 2026, hiking routes remain open for those looking to experience the mountain on foot.
No matter which way you decide to explore the mountain, be it through a hike or simply admiring the iconic landmark from below, Table Mountain is one of the best outdoor locations in Cape Town.
V&A Waterfront: For the Social Butterfly
The V&A Waterfront is where great days tend to unfold naturally. Browse local design and craft stalls at the Watershed, enjoy a harbour cruise, book a leisurely brunch, spend the afternoon exploring museums, galleries and cultural attractions, or find yourself at one of their upcoming events. It’s the ideal place to gather friends, celebrate the women around you and create new memories together.
Celebrate Women’s Month Your Way
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to how to celebrate Women’s Month. The wonderful thing about the Cape Town Big 6 is that there is room for all of it. So whatever your choice, from hiking up Table Mountain, visiting Cape Point, drinking a toast at Groot Constantia, strolling around Kirstenbosch, spending some time on Robben Island Museum, or having a day off at the V&A Waterfront, do take the time during Women’s Month to have experiences which inspire and rejuvenate you.
