Green Market Square in central Cape Town is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. It is a large cobbled stone square filled with various stalls selling a wide variety of clothes, African curios, candles, etc all aimed at the foreign tourist market.

The square is surrounded city buildings, a pretty old church and plenty of restaurants and cafes which spill out into the square. There are always stacks of tourists moving around the place and it has a vibrant atmosphere.
