| Welcome to Cape
Town - a city with a diverse range of attractions, sights and
activities on offer. From lavish and luxurious to back-packing
on a budget, Cape Town has something for everyone. From the
landmark beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay to the vibrant V&A
Waterfront and Cape Town city centre and the award winning wine
farms of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek - time spent in CapeTown
will not be forgotten. |
Cape Town is Southern
Africa's most beautiful, most romantic and most visited city.
Indeed, few urban centres anywhere can match its setting along
the mountainous Cape Peninsula spine, which slides into the
Atlantic Ocean. By far the most striking – and famous – of its
sights is Table Mountain, frequently shrouded by clouds, and
rearing up from the middle of the city.
More than a scenic backdrop, Table Mountain is the solid core of
Cape Town, dividing the city into distinct zones with public
gardens, wilderness, forests, hiking routes, vineyards and
desirable residential areas trailing down its lower slopes.
Standing on the tabletop, you can look north for a giddy view of
the city centre, its docks lined with matchbox ships. Looking
west, beyond the mountainous Twelve Apostles, the drop is sheer
and your eye will sweep across some of Africa's most valuable
real estate, clinging to the slopes along the chilly but
spectacularly beautiful Atlantic seaboard. Turning south, the
mountainsides are forested and several historic vineyards and
the marvellous Botanical Gardens creep up the lower slopes.
Beyond the oak-lined suburbs of Newlands and Constantia lies the
warmer False Bay seaboard, which curves around towards Cape
Point. |

| To appreciate Cape Town you
need to spend time outdoors, as Capetonians do, hiking,
picnicking or sunbathing. Sailboarders from around the world
head for Table Bay for some of the world's best windsurfing, and
the brave jump off Lion's Head and paraglide down close to the
Clifton beachfront. T he city offers sedate pleasures as well,
along its hundreds of paths and 150km 's of beaches. |
