Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide
Table Mountain and two oceans
Why visit Cape Town
Cape Town is Table Mountain’s flat-topped sentinel, the Stellenbosch winelands an hour away, and two oceans meeting at Cape Point. The V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay’s beach bars and the penguin colony at Boulders Beach round out a city routinely voted the world’s best. Summer runs November to February; spring’s wildflower season is the secret.
