The Cape Town Stadium

Cape Town faced a very challenging year this year

, like other South African cities, it was one of the locations where the 2010 world cup took place. Cape Town faced a few transformations in terms of infrastructure, any motorist can testify to the year and a half of disruptive roadworks implemented to allow of an increase in traffic during and after the World Cup. Of course there was also the demolition of the old Greenpoint Stadium which was replaced with the impressive Cape Town Stadium.

Now that the world cup is over, Cape Town has added tours of the stadium to its list of activities for visitors, other than enjoying the best Ocean view house Camps Bay has to offer or other luxury Cape villas available in Cape Town.

The Cape Town Stadium hosted 8 world cup matches and seats 68,000. The tours of the stadium include the pitch and the player changing rooms which are usually out of bounds to visitors. The visitors' centre will be open to all visitors on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 10:00, 12:00 and 14:00 and tours are offered on weekends on a first come first served basis. Adults are charged R60 and pensioners and children under 12 are charged R30.

While Capetonians were hesitant when it was first announced that Greenpoint Stadium would be replaced with The Cape Town Stadium, the common consensus amongst Capetonians is a sense of pride for the exquisite design of the stadium. It is seen as an icon of what Cape Town can achieve.

The Stadium can be seen from across Table Bay, as far as Melkbos on a clear day, but there are many Cape Town villas for rent in areas such as Greenpoint and Seapoint that will offer excellent views of the stunning Cape Town Stadium.
