The Platzl, Downtown Kimberley

Wander the pedestrian-only brick streets of Downtown Kimberley, lined with shops, boutiques, water fountains, giant chess pieces, a climbing wall and restaurants.

No visit is complete without sticking a coin in the world’s largest cuckoo clock and then witnessing the emergence of Happy Hans, a yodelling, mustachioed man clad in short leather shorts, hoisting a beer stein.
