Nel 1710 era un mercato di contadini, a oggi è il mercato delle pulci più conosciuto della città. Spesso si esibiscono artisti di strada come ballerini, cantanti e musicisti ma si possono anche incontrare alcuni dei più eccentrici personaggi di Cape Town. È circondato da buonissimi ristoranti e bar con i tavoli all'aperto per prendersi un caffè all'aria aperto. I bellissimi e antichi edifici includono il vecchio Municipio, che si affaccia sulla piazza. Il modo migliore di conoscere la piazza di Greenmarket è in un'assolata mattina di domenica. Alcuni locali accettano carte di credito.
