Overview
#Cape Town Cape Town, in South Africa's Western Cape province, is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is a city that you have to return to, one visit can never be enough. It is special for various reasons, not least for its friendly multicultural population. It is a vibrant metropolitan city where you meet people from all corners of the earth.
Table Mountain's awe inspiring presence follows you around as you explore the many treasures the Mother City has on offer. The beauty of the unspoiled mountain range visible from all parts of the city is complimented by the breathtaking coastline and beaches.
The city's role in South African history cannot be overstated. It reflects the good and the bad times, the centuries of colonialism and the recent liberation. Robben Island, place of banishment for ages and visible in the distance, pays silent tribute to the struggle for freedom. Today Cape Town is a symbol of hope for the new South Africa, if you decide to visit you will take precious memories back home with you… and you will return!
