One thing about Cape Town? It is a gem! And I do not want to argue with anyone about it.

If you are planning your solo birthday trip I’d highly recommend Cape Town because not only will you experience the beauty of the Mother City you will have the time of your life whilst getting birthday freebies.

The nicest thing about the Mother City is that birthdays are a big deal and are celebrated accordingly with a lot of different places offering free visits as long you carry your ID as proof.

Here are some places that you can visit for free on your birthday around Cape Town:

• In the Durbanville Wine Safari, birthday celebrants get a complimentary Wine Safari ticket within one week of their birthday, with one paying guest required.
• Total Ninja in Obsevatory will let you in for free on your birthday Month.
• Get a free return trip on the Table Mountain on your birthday month.
• Galelio Open Air cinema is also free on your birthday month, however it must be between Nov-April because in other months it is cold and windy.
• Zeitz Musiem of Contemporary is free on your birthday month.
• Two oceans Aquarium is free on your birthday month.
• The famous Cape Wheel is also free on your birthday.
• You can close it off by going on a Sky-Hi ride when it starts to be dark because it is also free on your birthday.

You can actually plan your day before, deciding which ones will you go with.
