There’s a beautiful, large, flat-topped mountain called Table Mountain for your viewing pleasure in Cape Town, and there are dozens of ways to enjoy this natural feature. The adventurous ones try hiking the rugged slopes on all sides but there’s a cable car that’ll get you to the summit for the less adventurous ones. Whether you choose to explore this incredible mountain on foot, by cable car, or simply by watching it from the city center, there’s no denying that it’s almost worth visiting Cape Town for this singular reason.

#2. Splash at the beaches

Who doesn’t like a day or night at the beach? Cape Town has got you covered! Being that the city is set between two bays, each shoreline offers something different depending on what you want. From surfing to those seeking the perfect tan, and even sunset watching, there’s always something to do on the beach by day or night.

#3. Explore the awesome marine scenery

Cape Town has a wide range of thriving marine life and is also home to the famous Marine big five namely; The Cape Fur Seal, The African Penguin, Dolphins, Whales and The Mola Mola Sunfish. Asides from spotting these magnificent oceanic creatures from the shoreline, there are also a number of ocean activities for adventure lovers. From snorkeling with Cape Fur Seals to kayaking with African Penguins and watching whales, the marine life here is a sight to behold and experience. You can explore these sights either by boat or deep-sea diving, but whichever you choose, the experience is always unmatched!

#4. Taste the wine!

The wine in Cape Town is among the best and cheapest in the country and this is all thanks to the climate which is perfect for grape-growing. There are dozens of beautiful estates that are worth visiting, even if you’re not a huge fan of wine. But those who enjoy wine tasting are in for a treat: Cape Town wines punch well above their weight, and they often cost considerably less than those from other parts of the world.

Art lovers are not left out of this awesome city, thanks to the Zeitz Mocca, a contemporary art museum that was opened in September 2017 in the heart of the city. It has since catapulted the city onto the global art scene. While this new museum matches up to the world’s best standard, there are also dozens of other smaller galleries that provide an impressive yet cost-friendly foundation to the city’s creative scene.
