Cape Town is a port city located on an island beneath the towering Table Mountain on South Africa's southwest coast. Slowly spinning cable cars ascend to the mountain's flat summit, from where there are panoramic views of the city, the busy harbour, and boats bound for Robben Island, the notorious prison that once confined Nelson Mandela and is now a museum.

Table Mountain is unquestionably the defining beacon of Cape Town's cityscape, and it is also one of the world's most instantly recognisable monuments. The scenery is breath-taking in Cape Town. With such a diverse terrain, found in just a few other places on the planet, Cape Town provides woods, coastlines, meadows, mountains, seas, grasslands, nature reserves, winelands, and one of the world's most distinctive floral biomes, fynbos. Cape Town is also home to a number of world-class beaches, including Camps Bay near the city centre to Diaz Beach further down the peninsula. You could spend a week in Cape Town and still not see all of its beaches!

With its renowned mountain ranges, breath-taking natural treasures, exhilarating landscapes, and seaside panoramas, Cape Town has no shortage of experiences available to visitors. Known as South Africa's adventure capital, the lifestyle of citizens and tourists alike revolves around the outdoors and an active lifestyle.
