There are tons of vendors selling just about anything you could want; art, jewelry, native clothing, you name it, it’s there. Every turn you make a vendor is yelling out “madam, madam, please come an have a look.” It’s okay to look, but you must be strong-willed if you don’t plan on purchasing. They will hound you. A polite no thank you is usually enough to shift their attention elsewhere. I highly suggest that you haggle when shopping at the Greensquare market, they will offer you an outrageously high price at first, but if you haggle a little bit they will come down. But please be respectful and don’t go too low. This is usually the vendors only source of income. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae6191f5cfd792987e646f9/1557862308534-Q62JHHOAY284P6QVEE72/IMG_0894.jpg Home - Cape Town Upon entering into the gardens, you will find this statue of artwork.
