Positioned at the southern most point of Africa where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans collide is South Africa’s mother city, Cape Town. It is South Africa’s main tourist location that has nearly 70% of tourists from the Great Britain making Cape Town a part of their travel itinerary.
Cape Town is South Africa’s earliest city and gives tourists brilliant shopping arcades, eating out and several other interesting attractions all under the background of the iconic Table Mountain. The Victoria and Albert Waterfront is the perfect spot for a touch of retail therapy before discovering a restaurant where you’ll be able to sit outside and watch the world pass by all year round.
Points of interest in Cape Town include things like the Two Oceans aquarium, a craft market or you may wish to watch the local artists perform at the amphitheatre. Robben Island was the jail where Nelson Mandela spent many years and it is open to people who can arrive by a quick boat journey.
Cape Point has claimed a great number of shipwrecks over the years and it is worthwhile checking out the location that is at the very end of Africa. The drive over Chapman’s Peak is as stunning as the sight from Cape Point with its hairpin bends and steep cliffs.
Along with finding lots of activities to do in Cape Town, it’s also a really good base to explore the immediate area of the Western Cape. The winelands of Paarl, Franshoek and Stellenbosch are well loved with both self drive and escorted trips. Between July and October, the town of Hermanus is believed to be certainly one of the recommended locations around the world where you’re able to whale watch from the shoreline.
The awesome panorama of Cape Town makes it an excellent area to spend your holiday for folks looking for adventure, night-life or peace and quiet. A wide range of accommodation is available geared to all budgets.
Cape Town is the single most popular city in South Africa for British tourists. An incredible 70% of Brits who travel here include Cape Town as part of their itinerary.
