Cape Town
Table Mountain, Robben Island, and Much More in the Mother City
Sitting snugly between the harbor and Table Mountain, and affectionately known as the Mother City, Cape Town is widely considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Add to this the rich history, cultural diversity, and a well-developed tourism industry, and it’s easy to see why Cape Town is one of South Africa’s top destinations, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe.
Known as the city bowl due to the way it’s cradled between mountain and sea, Cape Town’s heart includes historically rich neighborhoods like Bo Kaap, Tamboerskloof, and Oranjezicht. Step back in time by joining the Footsteps to Freedom walk or visiting landmarks like the Castle of Good Hope and the Slave Lodge.
Cultural and Historical Treasures: Museums and Gardens
The beautifully maintained Company Gardens—complete with tree-lined avenues and mountain views—is home to both the South African National Gallery and the South African Museum, making it a must-see for art and culture lovers. Nature lovers shouldn’t miss the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, nestled on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain and often used for open-air concerts.
Bohemian Vibes and Bustling Streets
Vibrant areas like Long Street and Greenmarket Square offer a bohemian vibe with antique stores, bookshops, and eclectic curio shops. Cozy cafés, bustling restaurants, and stylish bistros make it easy to unwind and soak in the city’s spirit. At night, Cape Town comes alive with a lively nightlife scene, featuring theaters, clubs, live music, and a mix of local and global cuisine.
One of the crown jewels of the city is the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. This buzzing destination offers specialty shops, luxury hotels, entertainment venues, and the Two Oceans Aquarium, a hit with both children and adults.
There’s so much to do in Cape Town that even weeks might not feel enough. So if you’re visiting for a short while, make an itinerary—and if you stray off course, well, that just gives you a perfect reason to return again to South Africa’s beautiful Mother City.
