Cape Town is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, rivalling the likes of Sydney and San Francisco in terms of climate, location and vibrancy.

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Table Mountain and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town offers an appealing mix of  cosmopolitan restaurants, good shopping, historic monuments, mountain hikes, sandy beaches and rich history.   The climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers. 

Consistently voted amongst the top cities in the world to visit, it is no surprise that this wonderful city is one of the highlights of a holiday to South Africa, and most people want to return again and again. Whether you come to Cape Town at the start or at the end of your holiday to South Africa, there is something for everyone here, and the memories will last a lifetime.

There is so much to see and do in and around Cape Town, we recommend a stay of at least 3 or 4 nights, which will give you time to not only explore but also to just relax and soak up the atmosphere.

One of the main attractions of the city is the tastefully restored V&A Waterfront, with its many shops, bars and restaurants. There is also an aquarium, and one of the largest craft markets in Southern Africa.

Boats offer tours of the harbour from the quayside, and the whole place is always buzzing with life and activity.

The City Bowl is home to many museums and historical buildings, which can all be viewed from a 'topless' hop on / hop off tourist bus, complete with interesting commentary as you ride around the city.

The adventurous can climb up (or abseil down) Table Mountain, windsurf or kitesurf at Bloubergstrand Beach, dive in shark tanks, or do any one of a dozen more adrenalin pumping activities.

There are miles of sandy beaches for soaking up the African sun, or enjoy a quiet stroll through the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or one of the vineyards at Constantia.

You can of course also can take a guided tour of the city sights - click here to see a selection of the day tours that we can help arrange for you.

At the end of the day, sip a glass of chilled white South African wine or a cocktail at one of the countless trendy bars along the Camps Bay beachfront, while watching the sun set over the Atlantic ocean.

For late night party-goers, the city comes alive in the evenings. For those with lots of energy, Kloof Street or Long Street are the places to head for, and many of the vibrant bars and clubs here are open all night for non-stop fun and action.

The V&A Waterfront is also a popular choice, and the dozen cinema screens, countless restaurants and bars ensure that there is plenty to do after the sun goes down.
