The impressive presence of Table Mountain, flanked by the legendary Devil`s Peak and historical Signal Hill, stands proudly above the city. Beautiful white sandy beaches along a peaceful coastline frame the Cape Peninsula, which is famed for its unique floral kingdom, bountiful rivers, and dams amongst the magnificent countryside. The surrounding area extends far into the winelands, green in summer and red-gold in autumn. It has the reputation as being the most laid back city in South Africa with Capetonians adhering to `Africa time`, which is somewhat slower than most other major cities. This relaxed atmosphere is attributed to Table Mountain which is known to be amongst the most spiritual places on earth.

You only have to look up to see the quartzite granite cliffs towering over the city with a protective presence. People are drawn towards the mountain and every visitor feels the need to climb up or take the revolving Cable Car to the top. At 1086 metres above sea level, you are privy to the most dramatic views of the whole of the Cape Peninsula. Cape Town boasts a multitude of entertainment, ranging from outdoor activities and adventures in the sun to a roaring night life under neon signs.

The huge variety of restaurants reflects the multicultured history of the Cape and caters for everyone`s taste, from fast-food outlets and casual to the chic to the very elegant. Cape Town provides a setting for many scenic wonders, magnificent seascapes and panoramic vistas.

The beautiful coastal areas of Camps Bay, Clifton, Llandudno, Bantry Bay, Hout Bay and Blouberg surround the breathtaking tranquility of the winelands, Constantia, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franshhoek. Cape Town is a city of culture, built on a history that reflects in the architecture, cuisine, music and dance.
