About Cape Town

Why travelers love it here

Cape Town has a legitimate claim to being the world's most dramatically beautiful city — Table Mountain a constant presence above the bowl of the bay, the ocean wild and cold on one side and warm and turquoise on the other, the winelands an hour's drive from the urban center. Add one of the finest restaurant scenes in Africa and you have a destination that surprises at every turn.
