Cape Town is one of the most popular holiday resorts in the world and was voted as “Best city in the world” av The Telegraph its 39 readers for the seventh year in a row. With Table Mountain as a backdrop, the city lies there as “a piece of Europe in Africa”. There is a lot to experience in Cape Town and the surrounding area, with wine tasting, Cape of Good Hope, Table Mountain, Robben Island and maybe some museums or some relaxation on one of the beautiful beaches.

Table Mountain - Cape Town's history begins at Table Mountain. Without the mountains, people would not be able to settle here. Table Mountain creates a rain shadow, which provides water to streams and rivers that flow down the mountain. This became the basis for small forests and the cause of the good soil on the mountain sides, in contrast to the dry sandy areas that cover so much of the surrounding land area. Flora and fauna developed and changed over the years and have created a unique vegetation. Take the gondola, walk, or climb up to the world-famous mountain plateau. Enjoy amazing views of the city!

5. Hop on / hop off city bus: Cape Town's "hop on - hop off" sightseeing buses are a great way to experience the city.
