There is no doubt that Cape Town is a natural attraction for tourists with its breathtaking scenery, temperate climate and excellent transport system.
The inner city has much to offer with its vibrant mix of sights and sounds. There is a blend of old and new with modern skyscrapers standing alongside historical architecture, steeped in colonial history. The old Parliament buildings next to the Company Gardens are rich in history and are still in use today. On the other side of the city is the Castle of Good Hope which was established by the Dutch in the late 17th century. There are also a number of museums in the inner city which show off indigenous arts, cultures and history.
Perhaps the most distinctive feature in the city is Table Mountain which forms part of the Table Mountain National Park. Visitors to the city can reach the top of the mountain either by hiking or by hitching a ride on the modern cable cars that operate each day.
Visitors wanting to reach a quick vantage point from which to admire the scenery can drive up to Signal Hill which is only a matter of minutes away. Afterwards, join a tour group out of the city and drive along Chapman's Peak towards Hout Bay for more magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean.
If you love beaches, you're in for a treat as there are many unspoiled stretches of sand to admire along the way. You can walk barefoot along the beach or simply get some refreshments at one of the many restaurants along the way. As you travel from the Atlantic Seaboard towards the False Bay coast, the temperature of the water increases, making for ideal swimming and surfing conditions.
There is something for everyone on a visit to Cape Town, from shark cage diving to whale watching, from wine tasting on the Cape Winelands to experiencing an authentic taste of life in the vibrant townships of the Western Cape.
