30 Things to do in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We knew we had to return to do the city justice and also film a proper Cape Town travel guide for you guys. This time around, we gave ourselves a full week to spare.
Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town. As always, if you have any other suggestions for fellow travellers, feel free to share those in the comments below. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

Cape Town Apartment Tour in South Africa
Come join us for a tour of our apartment in Cape Town, South Africa. We were on the 9th floor of St Martini Gardens apartment complex directly across from The Company's Garden. Honestly our location couldn't have been better as we were more or less within walking distance of most attractions in the city, outdoor markets, restaurants and nightlife.
The studio apartment in Cape Town was small but space efficient meaning we had a table to work and eat and plenty of storage room. The shower was really nice but at the moment Cape Town and surrounding area is experiencing a crucial water shortage so keep that in mind when visiting and consider maybe skipping a shower or two and/or really having a shorter one.
If you're looking for a short term rental apartment in Cape Town I would definitely consider staying here. We had the most incredible views of Table Mountain and Signal Hill from the rooftop and every morning we were treated to a spectacular sunrise from our living room window.
A Spar grocery store is only a 7-10 minute walk from the apartment and we basically were only snacking and having breakfast in our place because it was so cheap to eat out. We did buy a lot of wine though ;)

Cape Town Apartment Tour in South Africa Video Transcript:
Anyways, we are in Cape Town and we ended up renting an AirBNB here for the week so we figured we would show you around so you can see what you can expect to find and pay.
I think we were paying about $40 dollars a night. Forty US dollars if I remember correctly. Yeah, that is right.
And it is a studio so what you see is what you get. Um, so I guess we'll show you the bedroom first.
Tada. Tada.
We got a pretty nice bed. Ah, you can see the mirror. Aaah.
The mirror looks it make a lot more spacious than it actually is. Lots of pillows, the bed was comfy so plus for that. Yeah.
So something we should mention about this place is that normally we do our apartment tours like just when we're checking in. Once we've checked in.
But look at this. We're just about to leave. Like we are literally. After we film this. Yeah. We are out of here. We're off to the airport. Well, I had to tidy up to film this. I know.
Saved it for the last day. Everything is packed. Yes. Um, yeah.
So we also have a TV area. We didn't turn the TV on at all. Not even once. Oh, there is something I want to show you guys. Check out these they have the strangest plugs. Oh yeah, they have really strange plugs in South Africa. They're like similar to the European and UK ones except they're like 3 times as big. We had to buy huge adapters. Yeah. But anyway.
Anyways, living area. I do like this couch quite a bit. The other day there was a mosquito buzzing around my head so I came and slept here because I couldn't kill it. I couldn't find it. Yep. So this makes a comfy bed if there is 3 of you.
Um, some lovely plants, books and then you're already in the kitchen. Yeah. And so this would normally be used as a table to eat. A dining table.
A dining table but we were working on here. This is our office. And as you can see it has barstools. It has got two barstools. Yep.
The kitchen was pretty nice. Yes. Sam did the dishes for us. Ah, look at that. That was pretty much my only contribution to cleaning up this place. But yeah.
You know what? We didn't actually cook a lot because going out to a restaurant is quite affordable here in Cape Town. So our fridge, this all we're leaving behind, haha. Yoghurt.
Yoghurt and water.
One thing I will yeah these are the chilled waters that we're going to take with us.
One thing I will say though is that I had quite a bit of wine while I was here.
And yeah, that is it for the kitchen. I mean we've got a stove, we have a microwave. Lots of cupboard space. I mean we had a kettle, a toaster, a coffee maker. Something cool you'll find in here.
Alright, so it is almost time to go meet our taxi driver. So let me show you out. Off you go. I hope you enjoyed the tour. This is kind of what we do. When we're done our videos we just send you out the door. That is it. Nice seeing you. And see you next time. Bye bye.

10 Things to do in Granada, Spain Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Wrapping up our travels in Spain, our last city to visit was Granada. Set in Andalusia at the foot of the snow capped Sierra Nevada, this is a place where Moorish influence is palpable. From hilltop fortresses to Moroccan markets, and tranquil gardens to quaint teahouses, in this travel guide we’re going to show you some of the things you can do in Granada:
This Cathedral was as grand as you’d expect. The stark white interiors were a bit of a contrast to the ornate churches we had seen in other cities, but that just made your eyes travel towards a glowing, golden altar.
The Moroccan souk turned out to be one of our favourite spots in the city. The street was packed with tiny shops standing shoulder to shoulder, all filled with leather handbags, glass lamps, wool slippers, colourful scarves and pashminas and souvenirs.
We continued our way up the hill into Albayzín. This is one of the oldest centres of Muslim culture in Granada. The neighbourhood is a maze of narrow cobbled streets, white-houses with tiled roofs, and small courtyards sprinkled in between.
We made time to stop at one of the teterías, or teahouses. This was the perfect place to rest on a cold winter day and enjoy some afternoon treats.
You can find numerous Moroccan restaurants in this part of the city for food. One place we ate at on more than once occasion was Al-Faguara. They offered set menus for lunch featuring hummus, falafel, couscous, tajine, and of course, lots of baklava.
Let’s take a moment to talk about Granada’s main tourist attraction: the Alhambra!
The Alhambra is a massive complex of palaces, gardens and fortresses that once formed the citadel of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, which was the last Muslim dynasty to rule along the Iberian Peninsula from the years 1230 to 1492.
This is the one attraction you can’t miss when you visit Granada, and you’ll want to book your tickets well in advance as they can sell out during high season.
We spent half a day touring the grounds during which time we visited the Nasrid Palaces, the Palace of Charles the Fifth, the Alcazaba, and the Generalife.
We decided to find a cafe where we could indulge in a delicious Spanish breakfast.
Another spot we explored in Granada is Carrerra del Darro, a small lane that runs along the Darro River at the base of the Alhambra. This street is lined with arched-stone bridges and historic buildings.
We’ll leave you with a few scenes of Granada at night and one last glimpse of the Alhambra lit up against the evening sky.
We hope you enjoyed this video and that you got ideas of things do in Granada on your own visit.

Florence: when it comes to Renaissance art, there’s probably no better city in the world to soak it all in!
Our time here was spent viewing works by Italian masters both in museums and public spaces, marvelling at the architecture - in particular Florence Cathedral and its massive dome, going in search of the best lookout points, and eating plenty of pizza & gelato sharing the best things to do in Florence on your visit.
We paid 15 Euros for a ticket that gave us access to 5 attractions associated with Florence Cathedral. Giotto’s Campanile, the bell tower stands 84.7 metres with 414 steps.
We made our way over to our next attraction: the Baptistry. Known as both the Florence Baptistry and the Baptistry of Saint John.
We continued to Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which is a museum dedicated to conserving artworks relating to Florence Cathedral.
It was time to climb the dome of Florence Cathedral. We ate our gelato at Grom and it was delicious.
The Uffizi Gallery is considered one of the best museums in the world focusing on the Italian Renaissance. Most of the art collection you see today was gifted to the city of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress.
From Uffizi Gallery you get some pretty cool views of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River from a higher vantage point.
We visited in Florence was Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square right in the heart of the city. A landmark in this square is Palazzo Vecchio or the Town Hall. And to the right of this building, you have the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Speaking of David, we did find him, over at Galleria dell’Accademia. Michelangelo’s David depicts the Biblical David carved out of a single block of marble.
Ponte Vecchia during the 16th century that one of the Medici ordered for the butcher shops to be replaced with jewellers.
When it comes to sunset in Florence, there are no better views than from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the historic center on the other side of the Arno River.
This indoor market is foodie central with the second floor of the market is filled with eateries. Central Market is a great place to pick up ingredients to bring back to your kitchen.
We hope you enjoyed this Florence travel guide and that it gave you ideas of things to do.

Philadelphia Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Welcome to Philadelphia, considered the birthplace of the United States.
The Declaration of Independence was written and read publicly here in 1776. When you tour Philadelphia, you’ll get a sense of the history that permeates the city through its numerous monuments, symbols, and other landmarks, such as the First Bank of the United States and the warship USS Olympia. Don’t forget to stop by the Liberty Bell and the remains of the Eastern State Penitentiary, which housed notorious criminals like Al Capone.
You don’t need a car to enjoy your Philadelphia sightseeing; take public transportation or rent a bike to explore the city streets at your leisure. Fairmount Park is the perfect place for a stroll, and if you’ve got kids, bring them to the Please Touch Museum, where they can enjoy interactive exhibits and displays that will educate and entertain. If you’ve still got some energy after that, visit the Philadelphia Zoo and make friends with some of the animals. Don’t forget to sample some of the delicious food available in Philadelphia, particularly the fresh goods and cooked meals at the Italian Market.
From culinary delicacies to historical importance, Philadelphia truly has it all.
