Cape Town
ABOUT
Cape Town
South Africa’s Mother City; where sun-ripened vineyards make world-class wines, and Table Mountain meets the sea at blue-flag beaches. Cape Town has a unique blend of history, fine-dining, surf culture, and unique biodiversity.
Discover the Cape Wine Route, where some of the best wines in the world are cultivated on the slopes of the Boland, north-east of Cape Town. Eateries of top artisanal class accompany the wineries and are dotted around the eclectic and industrial city centre. Find hotels ranging from preserved Cape Dutch buildings, to quaint seaside B&Bs and state of the art architectural masterpieces, or venture up the east coast to the fynbos-covered mountain slopes for some whale-watching or diving with great white sharks. Cape Town is an exceptionally unique combination of nature, city, sunshine, and sea.
