Cape Town
Cape Town, South Africa´s oldest and loveliest city, lies in Table Bay on the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful buildings, the nearby winelands, long white beaches and a rich cultural life make the city South Africa´s most favoured tourist destination.
Perched between the ocean and the mountain, Cape Town offers rock climbing, surfing and diving along with a vibrant nightlife, excellent wine and endless shopping.
Highlights are the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, with upmarket shops, restaurants, crafts sellers and street performers all housed in a working harbour, and a visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held during the apartheid era.
