How long does it take to drive around the whole GTA 5 map?
The loop I drew is around 41km long, while the route we know in love from V is about 21 km long, using my numbers from the few tests I did, that would mean it would take anywhere from 10.5-14 minutes to drive the GTA V route which sounds about right.
The Virginia Water Circular is just what you need. This 6.9 km loop around a beautiful lake offers well-maintained, mostly flat trails—perfect for beginners, families, and anyone who wants a relaxed stroll.
Neighborhoods like Camps Bay and Clifton are generally safe as well. I spent a few days walking and biking around Cape Town alone and had no issues. But it is always nice to have a buddy with you while sightseeing. That said, I wouldn't walk around Cape Town at night.

How long does it take to walk up and down Arthur's seat?
Walking up and down Arthur's Seat typically takes 1 to 2 hours for the round trip, depending on your pace and chosen route, with quicker options possible from Dunsapie Loch (around 30 mins up) and longer circular routes taking up to 2 hours.

In Cape Town, the main places you should avoid going to day or night are Mitchell's Plain, or any of the townships/squatter camps, unless accompanied by an accredited tour guide. Even the City Center, Wynberg, Salt River, Woodstock & Observatory after dark are not advised, especially on your own.
Climbing up to Arthur's Seat costs nothing, and at only 823 feet above sea level, it's also not a particularly challenging hike. You should be able to get to the top and back within an hour or two, depending how much you stop, though elderly people may have a harder time.
Difficulty: Easy. Although there's an obvious incline, the length of the hike and pretty obvious path network make this a straightforward and rewarding walk. Kids do it, people in flip flops do it, you can do it. That said, do please wear appropriate footwear, it'll make your life much easier.
