Century City is far more than a business hub – discover art installations, bird sanctuaries, canal kayaking, open-air cinema, and world-class dining on your doorstep.
Century City is a dynamic, walkable precinct that offers far more than most visitors expect. From a world-class arts trail to a thriving wetland reserve, here's how to make the most of your stay.
Art Attack: Century City's Vibrant Arts Trail
Launched in 2017, this dynamic trail features 24 exhibitions, combining 20 outdoor and 4 indoor installations. Standout works include Ibis Rising at The Island Club, Family Reunion's thought-provoking sculpture, Feather Lane's intricate mosaics, and Aonyx's striking otter sculptures. Don't miss the Anton Smit Open Air Exhibition showcasing 30 innovative sculptures, and the Long March to Freedom's 100 bronze statues outside Canal Walk's entrance – a powerful installation commemorating South Africa's history.
Culinary Smorgasbord
Foodies will find a culinary playground in Century City with diverse flavours including Afro-Porto at MOZAMBIK Restaurant (Colosseum Hotel), Tiger's Milk for steaks, burgers, and Tex-Mex, La Parada for Spanish tapas, Square Café and Wine Bar for coffee and wine, Gusto Urban Italian Restaurant, and Brick Lane Eatery as a hidden gem at The Quays.
Sanctuary in the City
Intaka Island, an award-winning 16-hectare wetlands and bird sanctuary, is home to 177 species of indigenous fynbos plants and 120 bird species. The name 'Intaka' means 'bird' in Xhosa and represents unique nature conservation within urban development.

Galileo Open Air Cinema
