Main attractions
Cape Town is one of the most popular long distance destinations in the world. With Table Mountain forever present it is relatively easy to find your way around. Cape Town gives the word cosmopolitan its meaning with people present from all over the world. With English being the mother tongue of the majority of its inhabitants, the visitor can clearly understand why people have come from around the world to make Cape Town their home.

A ride up the mountain in the rotating cable car, a visit to Cape Point where the two Oceans meet or a trip to the Winelands all make Cape Town the reason why it has been voted one of the worlds most beautiful cities.

The famous Robben Island, V&A Waterfront, botanical gardens, pristine beaches, “fynbos” flora, and more will make your visit a memorable experience.

A bit out of the city one can also view the whales that come to our coastline from the South pole to mate and breed, watch penguins frolicking in the surf, participate in adventure and extreme sports to discovering the Proteas when in full bloom. The Western Cape contains the greatest number of plant species per square metre in the world.

Cape Town offers a host of activities that will satisfy even the most seasoned travellers. We look forward t sharing our city with you!
