Adderley Street Flower Sellers

<< back to Cape Town Travel Guide

The Adderley Street flowers sellers are one of the most enduring features of Cape Town’s CBD, having peddled their colourful bouquets for over a hundred years in the bustling city centre. For several blocks, you’ll find row upon row of bright seasonal blossoms, adding a sea of colour to the famous main road.

You can’t miss the flower sellers, located between the Golden Acre shopping centre and the majestic Standard Bank building. As you stroll by or browse the selection, sellers vie for your custom, heartily calling out and showing off their freshest offerings. You’ll be able to make up your own unique bouquet, and at a very reasonable price. These beautiful bouquets make fantastic gifts for friends, loved ones or even just for yourself!

Adderley Street: Colourful, historic, trendy
The Adderley Street flower sellers are a beloved sight on the bustling arteriole, which is enriched by a fascinating history – much of which is still evidenced in the architecture, landmarks and, indeed, the flower sellers themselves on Adderley Street.

For visitors to the Cape, a walking tour of this part of the city is highly recommended, and will explain the history and culture of central Cape Town. In its heyday, Adderley Street was the place to see and be seen; the place to shop, socialise and relax amongst society’s high-fliers.

Today, Adderley Street is enjoying a major restoration, and is once again becoming the destination de jour for local and international trendsetters alike.
