Table Mountain

In the heart of Cape Town you can hike, or take a cable car, up the incredible Table Mountain in the Table Mountain National Park (now referred to as one of the 'New Seven Wonders of Nature') for magnificent views of the city's amazing natural surroundings.

Museum of Contemporary Art

With its Grand Public Opening set for the end of September 2017, Cape Town's (and Africa's) first major Museum of Contemporary Art, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, will be a must see attraction in the city, and an art lover's dream in Africa.

Bree Street & Old Biscuit Mill

If it's cool bars and a cutting edge arts scene that interests you, then head to the uber cool Bree Street, lined with restaurants, bars and trendy weekend arts and crafts markets. And the creative enclave of the Old Biscuit Mill will keep any wannabe creative happy.

Cape of Good Hope

Set within Table Mountain National Park, the Cape of Good Hope is the place to go in Cape Town for outstanding walks and stunning scenery. Here you can take a 30 kilometre long circular walkway, and camp overnight for the ultimate experience.

Bo-Kaap

In the picturesque neighbourhood of Bo-Kaap, one of the most photographed neighbourhoods in all of Cape Town, you can explore colourful and historical buildings that line old cobbled streets and sit beautifully beneath the Signal Hill Mountain.

District Six Museum

In the District Six Museum and famous Alcatraz prison you can explore South Africa's apartheid history. For many, this is the starting point of a tour of Cape Town, so you can truly appreciate the city's long history, delivered by knowledgeable staff, many who have personal stories to tell.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are huge gardens in Cape Town, well worth a visit, where you can take canopy walkways through the trees or take a free guided walk through the gardens. In the garden you will find almost half of all of South Africa's plant species.

Cape Point Vineyards

Cape Town is close to some of the oldest vineyards outside Europe, famous the world over, nestled in high altitude hills surrounding the city. Head to Cape Point Vineyards and you could taste some of the best Sauvignon Blanc coming out of South Africa.

Robben Island

Robben Island is a famous UNESCO World Heritage site and an important landmark in Cape Town, which was once a former prison (most famously to Nelson Mandela). Here you can take comprehensive guided tours that are well worth the time.

Drakensberg

For the ultimate side trip from Cape Town, you could take a road trip to the famous Drakensberg mountain range, or 'Dragon Mountains', one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, and a sight not to be missed on your next holiday to South Africa.
