Tourism in Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town at the very southern tip of South Africa appeals to tourists as it has a rich cultural heritage, being the oldest city in South Africa. Top of the natural attractions that Cape Town holds out to visitors, tourists and travellers are as follows:

Cape Town’s Waterfront:

The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront (V&A), is a solid favourite with tourists. Providing foreign tourists with high class, quality shops and boutiques, it also caters for the locals with movies, plenty of restaurants (from high level to take-away) and an open air amphitheatre for exciting shows and music events. Not to be forgotten is the fact that The V&A Waterfront is a working harbour and there are all sorts of boat trips that can be chartered, from harbour tours to sunset and dinner cruises.

Table Mountain:

Cape Town’s Table Mountain is a national park right in the middle of the bustling city centre. It offers many beautiful hikes and includes the Table Mountain Cable Car – a cableway that takes visitors from the bottom to the top of the mountain in a stomach whooping scenic ride.

Robben Island:

A must visit on any tour to Cape Town is the trip out to Robben Island. Robben Island is a World Heritage site, being the prison in which Nelson Mandela was incarcerated during the apartheid years.

Cape Town Wine Route:

If world class wine is what you are looking for, then Cape Town’s wine routes are the place to visit. Situated about half an hour from Cape Town CBD is the beautiful and historic wine farms of Groot and Klein Constantia.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens:

Kirstenbosch Gardens is part of the Cape Floral World Heritage Site (Table Mountain is also part of this) and is well worth a visit. It is one of the best botanical gardens in the world – great for the kids to romp around.

Clifton and Camps Bay Beaches:

Cape Town has some of the most scenic beaches in the world. Nestled below the mountain and screened from the summer southeasters, the ever popular Clifton 4^th beach is where the “hip” crowd likes to see and be seen. It is however the most crowded in season and therefore the other Clifton beaches and Camps Bay are worth exploring if you want to get away from the crowds.

Overall Cape Town is a tourist’s delight. There are many places to find accommodation here as well as some top hotels so book in and stay to enable you to explore at leisure. Tourists will not be disappointed.
