What is the City Sightseeing Sunset Bus, and why is it a popular Valentine’s Day idea?
The Sunset Bus is an evening scenic drive on City Sightseeing’s open-top bus that follows the Atlantic Seaboard and finishes with a sunset stop at Signal Hill. It’s a favourite for Valentine’s Day because it’s relaxed, easy to plan, and the views are genuinely special, even if you’ve lived in Cape Town for years.
Where does the Sunset Bus go, and where does it stop?
The route runs along the Atlantic Seaboard (with areas like Sea Point and Camps Bay on the way), and the main stop is at Signal Hill for sunset. After sunset, the bus heads back toward the city and the V&A Waterfront.
What should we bring for a Valentine’s sunset ride?
A picnic is the classic move. Bring something easy to carry (snacks, a light meal), something to sit on (a small blanket), and a warm layer for later in the evening. Signal Hill can get windy once the sun drops.
Why is Signal Hill such a good Valentine's sunset spot?
Signal Hill is known for wide, panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean and the city, and it’s one of the most iconic places to watch the light change over Cape Town. It’s a simple setting that feels instantly “special occasion.”
Is it suitable if we’re not doing a big romantic “Valentine’s” thing?
Absolutely. A lot of people do the Sunset Bus with friends, visiting family, or as a low-key date. The experience is more about the views, the ride, and the atmosphere than anything overly formal.
