Join us for what promises to be a memorable day!
Cape Town to Elgin Railway Market
Join us on a 160 km round-trip departing on Saturdays and Sundays at 07h45 from Cape Town. Our destination is the Art Deco “Elgin Railway Market,” an exceptional market experience.
The journey departs from Harbour Bridge Platform (close to the Cape Town International Convention Centre), and meanders through Cape Town and its surrounds until reaching the majestic Sir Lowrys Pass. Arriving at the foot of the pass, the train embarks on an epic climb up one of the steepest railway lines in South Africa. Cresting the peak, the train snakes it way into the lush Elgin Valley before arriving at the Elgin Railway Market.
Onboard our train, guests can enjoy the wonderful scenery from various seating options whilst sipping on drinks from our fully licensed cash bar, or snacking in our dining car.
The service is suited to all ages and promises to be an experience to never forget.
