Come along as we discover the stunning natural beauty of Table Mountain and Signal Hill, with the opportunity to enjoy a hike along the mountain trails. Experience a breathtaking sunrise from the iconic flat-topped peak and soak in the panoramic 360-degree views from the Cableway.
Table Mountain
One of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks, Table Mountain is renowned for its flat-topped peak and stunning views of the city, ocean, and surrounding mountains. Visitors can take the cable car to the summit for panoramic 360-degree vistas or hike one of the many scenic trails that lead to the top. It’s a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers.
Signal Hill
Located next to Table Mountain, Signal Hill offers equally breathtaking views of Cape Town, the Atlantic Ocean, and Robben Island. Famous for its Noon Gun, a cannon fired daily at 12 p.m., Signal Hill is also a popular spot for sunset viewing and paragliding. It’s a more accessible alternative for those looking to enjoy spectacular views without hiking.
Bo-Kaap / Cape Malay Quarter
This vibrant neighborhood is steeped in cultural, religious, and architectural heritage, closely connected to Muslim traditions. As one of Cape Town’s oldest residential areas, Bo-Kaap originated when the Cape Malay community, brought to the Cape Colony as skilled artisan slaves, settled here. It is home to South Africa’s oldest mosque, the Auwal Mosque, established in 1798, and is known for its unique shops and cafés offering local delicacies like koesisters and bobotie.
Company’s Garden
Established in 1652 by Dutch settlers, Company’s Garden is Cape Town’s oldest garden and a green oasis in the heart of the city. This bustling park is a popular spot for picnics and leisurely walks, featuring a rose garden, Japanese garden, fish pond, and bird aviary. The garden is surrounded by notable landmarks such as the Parliament, the Iziko South African Museum and Planetarium, the South African National Gallery, and other historical buildings.
Castle of Good Hope
Built in the late 1600s by the Dutch East India Company, this star-shaped fort is the oldest surviving structure in Cape Town. Originally a maritime replenishment station, the Castle houses the Castle Military Museum, which showcases military history, including an extensive sword collection. The William Fehr Collection displays historical paintings and period furniture significant to the Cape’s history. Visitors can witness the Key Ceremony on weekdays, followed by the firing of the Signal Cannon, and enjoy horse and carriage rides.
Greenmarket Square
Located in the heart of Cape Town’s central business district, this lively open-air market is set on a cobbled square and filled with local traders and artisans. It’s a great place to shop for souvenirs, African art, crafts, fabrics, and unique curios from across the continent while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere.
Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden
Situated on the slopes of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch is one of the world’s most famous botanical gardens. Established in 1913, it is home to a rich variety of indigenous plants, particularly from the Cape Floral Kingdom. Visitors can explore scenic walking trails, and the stunning Tree Canopy Walkway, and enjoy seasonal concerts. The garden is a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and a prime spot for picnics amid Cape Town’s unique flora.
