Visiting
What to see, eat and drink in Claremont
OpenStreetMap maps 27 restaurants, 13 cafes and 1 bar or pub counted in Claremont, and 5 named sights: museums and galleries, parks, monuments, viewpoints and other attractions. They are counted the same way as the places to stay: each place goes to the area whose centre is nearest, within that area's reach. This rule has no boundaries, so places near the edge can fall in a neighbouring area's count.
| What | Mapped | Rank in Cape Town |

Rank 1 has the most among the 92 neighbourhoods of Cape Town; areas with equal counts share a rank. A zero means none is mapped in OpenStreetMap, not that there are none: coverage varies from place to place.

Sights are counted the same way. Main sights: the 10 sights in these areas covered by the most Wikipedia language editions. Stations: railway and metro stations in Wikidata. All distances are straight-line from the area's centre point; on foot or by road they are longer.
