About Cape Town
Cape Town is the third largest city in South Africa and the furthest south. Famous for its iconic Table Mountain, it’s also the centre for the South African vineyards of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. For those who love the outdoor life and are fit enough for exploring, head for some of the walking trails in the mountains behind the city. Apart from amazing views down over the city and out to sea, you’ll see the wonderful scenery inland and maybe spot some of the local rock rabbits called ‘dassies’ as you walk.

If climbing is too energetic, or to see the mountain and city from another viewpoint, take the cable car to the top but don’t forget to pack a sweater, the temperature is a lot cooler at the top. In the city you must visit Bo Kaap which is the former Malay quarter of the city and home to many colourful houses. The chief attractions there are the street vendors selling delicious oriental cuisine and the chance to see movies being shot in the picturesque neighbourhood.

For a great shopping and entertainment experience, visit the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront where a once run down waterside neighbourhood has been transformed into an elegant area of high quality shops and boutiques plus cafes and restaurants. Out of town, visit the sailor’s landmark of the Cape of Good Hope and at Boulder, you’ll be able to see South Africa’s colony of penguins as they swim for fish in the icy Antarctic Ocean.
