Explore Cape Town
Explore South Africa’s oldest city and experience its unique array of cultures, spectacular architecture, significant historical sights and awe-inspiring scenery.
V&A
Waterfront
This bustling working harbour is filled to the brim with luxury stores, restaurants, art galleries, museums and more. The best part? If you’re staying at The Table Bay, you’re only an escalator ride away from Cape Town’s biggest tourist attraction.
Two Oceans
Aquarium
The Two Oceans Aquarium is a window into the spectacular oceans surrounding the southern African coast.
Table
Mountain
Table Mountain is synonymous with Cape Town and is one of the most iconic mountains on earth. It’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and, in 1998, Nelson Mandela proclaimed it “a gift to the earth”.
Big Bang
The Noon Gun dates back to 1806 when ships in Table Bay used it to set their clocks for accurate navigation at sea. Visitors can watch the firing each day (except Sundays) from Lion Battery on Signal Hill.
Robben
Island
Few sites evoke the inhumanity of Apartheid as clearly as Robben Island, one of the world’s most infamous jails and the place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years behind bars. Tours depart daily from the V&A Waterfront’s Nelson Mandela Gateway.
South
Peninsula
From Hout Bay to Muizenberg, the South Peninsula offers up dramatic scenery, endless white shores and quirky eateries. Be sure to drive scenic Chapman’s Peak.
Where
oceans merge
Craggy Cape Point forms the dramatic southern tip of the peninsula and is well worth the day-trip from the city. For unforgettable views, book a boat tour from Simon’s Town harbour and enjoy a unique perspective on ‘the fairest Cape in all the world’. Afterwards, stop in at Boulders Beach to view the famous penguin colony.
The Company's
Garden

Kirstenbosch National
Botanical Garden

Stroll among over 7 000 plant species, including the treasured king protea which is South Africa’s national flower.
Cape Town's
Beaches
