The compact city centre lends itself to walking, with most of its major sights easily accessible. Cape Town is dissected by a number of thoroughfares, one of which is Adderley Street. The parallel St George’s Mall is a lively pedestrian zone where street musicians and dancers entertain the crowds, while Greenmarket Square, the focal point of the city, is lined with many historically significant buildings. One block west of here, towards Signal Hill, is Long Street. Some beautiful examples of elaborate Victorian buildings with balconies and intricate ironwork – now housing shops, bars and hostels – can be seen here.
