As much as possible. I know it\u2019s often easier to take public transport or a taxi, but walking lets you see so much more. Not just because you\u2019re moving at a slower pace and obviously more receptive to things, but because you\u2019re walking alongside locals, and taking in some of the feeling of what it\u2019s like to live in the place you\u2019re visiting.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most beautiful (and popular) road walks in Cape Town is from Sea Point to Camps Bay. Yes, you could quite easily drive along the same road, and I have many times. But as you\u2019re driving you can only catch tantalising glimpses of the ocean views that you get to look at properly while you\u2019re walking.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to walk the round trip, it\u2019s a little under 10km (if you start around the Sea Point swimming pools), but luckily Camps Bay is filled with all kinds of delectable spots to have a cooldrink, or a coffee, or even a lazy lunch. The walk itself meanders along the coast the whole way \u2013 up and out of Sea Point, through Bantry Bay with all the plush houses perched on the cliff, past Clifton, where the road winds up from the beach and you get to look at the stunning sea views and many bungalows below the road, and on into Camps Bay, home of the rich and famous. The views are breathtaking at every turn (well, in between the houses at every turn) and it\u2019s a popular route for walkers and runners every weekend, so you\u2019ll get a good cross-section of South African life.<\/p>\n<p>Have you taken any fantastic road walks that you could recommend?<\/p>\n<p>Image credit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the things I always try to do when I\u2019m in a new town is walk.
