With its stunning location, tucked into the arms of a broad bay, surrounded by wild, white-sand beaches and set against the canvas of Table Mountain, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Affectionately nicknamed the Mother City, it is the capital of South Africa's Western Cape Province and the seat of South Africa's parliament.
Cape Town city is a cosmopolitan hub of activities and has a reputation for being one of the most welcoming cities in South Africa helped no doubt by Capetonians easygoing and laid-back nature. On the streets, a great variety of languages are spoken, while stalls selling all manner of crafts, food and textiles are squashed among American-style malls, European fashion boutiques, art galleries, luxury hotels, backpacker lodges and ubiquitous chain stores. Cape Town Information centres can easily be found throughout the city guiding you to the cities hot spots and many treasures.
The city bowl holds some of the most interesting and historically significant neighbourhoods and the likes of the Bo Kaap, Oranjezicht, Tamboerskloof and Gardens provide hours of easy meanderings, restaurants and historical sites.
Other than soak up the vibe, which is typically Cape Town's, there are plenty of Cape Town activities to enthral, excite and entertain all visitors. Taking the obligatory ride up the cable car to Table Mountain's top is well worth the effort, although waiting for a clear day with no sign of the tablecloth is a safer option. Lion's Head, the conical shaped mountain next to the table top is another mountain worth scaling, particularly on nights of full moon. The 1.5 hour walk to the top is best timed so that the summit is reached as the moon takes to the sky.
No visit is complete without visiting one of South Africa's most popular destinations, the V&A Waterfront. Here you will find a wide range of boutiques, restaurants, book stores, galleries and boating activities as well as the spectacular Two Ocean's Aquarium.
Head over the gap known as Kloof Nek between Table Mountain and Lion's Head and you descend into Camps Bay, just one of the popular Atlantic Seaboard beaches that continue to Llandudno and Hout Bay. Or venture round the western corner of the bowl to the popular De Waterkant , Green Point and Sea Point.
