Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, set between the flat-topped Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. It combines beaches, vineyards, colorful neighborhoods and a rich, complex history.
The city
The V&A Waterfront is a lively harbor with shops, restaurants and the Zeitz MOCAA art museum in an old grain silo. Bo-Kaap's brightly painted houses climb the slopes of Signal Hill. Boats leave the waterfront for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.
Mountain and coast
A cable car climbs Table Mountain for spectacular views. The Cape Peninsula drive leads past Camps Bay, Chapman's Peak and the penguins of Boulders Beach to Cape Point. Kirstenbosch is one of the world's great botanical gardens.
