Parow
The suburb of Parow is one of the dominant locales found in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. With its easy access to major highways such as the N1 and N7, Parow unsurprisingly is within reasonable distance to many of the city’s most breathtaking attractions; from here, travellers can find themselves in the Cape Town CBD without breaking a sweat as well as the foreshore and iconic landmarks such as the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain. For the wine connoisseur though, the suburb of Parow means that they are mere moments away from the sumptuous Durbanville wine route. The Durbanville wine route is sought after not only because of the delicious bouquets produced, but also because the aesthetic beauty of the surrounding area is nothing short of breathtaking.
Shopping addicts though will have the most reason to smile when it comes to Parow. Parow is home to the convenient Sanlam Centre, but it is also very close to many of Cape Town’s most important and popular complexes namely the outrageous Canal Walk, the family friendly N1 City, the entertainment-laden Tygervalley Shopping Centre, and the recent addition on the shopping scene the Willowbridge Lifestyle Centre. With these complexes literally within minutes from Parow, those serious about their shopping can do some major damage with their credit cards. Additionally, the fabulous and extravagant Grand West Casino and Entertainment Complex is also in close proximity to Parow and opens up a world of gaming, restaurants, cinemas, and other recreational amenities.
For those that want to enjoy the best of Mother Nature, then the Tygerberg Nature Reserve is the ideal spot for you. Not too far from Parow, the Tygerberg Nature Reserve boasts terrific nature trails and superlative natural spectacles, making it the perfect refuge away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
