The Place

Cape Town, South Africa

City introduction

Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town · South Africa

Table Mountain, two oceans and the Cape Winelands at your door. Cape Town sits between Table Mountain and two meeting oceans: the cableway and macchia-covered summit trails above the city bowl, penguin-colonised Boulders Beach and Cape Point down the peninsula, and the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek winelands under an hour inland. The V&A Waterfront, Bo-Kaap's painted streets and the Cape's diverse food scene round out Africa's most complete city break.
