Cape Town » Introduction

 

Down at the south end of Africa, the continent is anchored by this unique city. Rapidly becoming becoming one of the 'must visit' destinations for international and domestic travellers alike, a Cape Town holiday is a hard-to-beat experience.

Cape Town is a city where you can do business (if you really have to) in the morning, hike up the mountain in the afternoon and cool off in the evening by taking in a stunning Cape sunset washed down with a world-class local wine. A delicious meal leaves you satisfied and ready for another day's adventure in the Cape. Unless you still want to go partying, that is.

It's a beautiful, mixed-up city with a fascinating heritage and welcoming people who enjoy showing off this magical place. With humble beginnings as a strategic trading post for passing ships, the Mother City has evolved into a world class metropolis with a range of experiences to suit every taste and pocket.

While Cape Town's most popular attractions such as Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Winelands and Cape Point draw the most attention, it would be a shame to stop there. In fact, those who are prepared to be a more bit more adventurous will be rewarded in so many ways by those little, out of the way spots where you can enjoy your own piece of Cape splendour without the accompanying masses.

People love the energy, vibe and multi-cultural mix that define this special place but speak to the locals, step off the beaten path and your Cape Town holiday will be immeasurably enriched.

Naturally there's a full range of Cape Town accommodation to suit all your needs whether you're a regular visitor and want a place that feels like home, a newlywed looking to celebrate romance, a business traveller or a parent wanting a place to stay that not only caters for children but makes the grown-ups feel like they're on holiday too.

And while Cape Town defines the region, the Western Cape is a widespread area with a treasure trove of rivers, mountains, art, food and people that will keep you coming back for more.

Guided tours are always a convenient way of exploring a city and its surrounds although Cape Town is really easy and accessible enough for you to do it on your own if you feel adventurous and have time. If you'd prefer the convenience of a tour, consider something like the Winelands lifestyle day tour.

Cape Town also combines well with other South and southern African destinations - it's so easy to experience South Africa's wildlife and its urban jungles.

The city is a natural stop for many of the overland tours, but there are plenty of options for golf enthusiasts, people who want to see the Garden Route and Cape Town ... and so much more.

A weekend will never suffice in Cape Town. So read all you can, quickly ... there's lots to do.
