Cape Town is one of the world's most breathtaking cities

Cape Town is one of the world's most stunning cities, blessed with the breathtaking backdrop of Table Mountain which oversees the meeting point of two oceans - the Indian and Atlantic.

A vibrant city filled with superb restaurants and a young population, Cape Town is the most visited destination in the country. A burgeoning live music scene, teeming bars and a buzzing street scene add to the city's attraction.

Shark fishing, skiing, wine tours, rugby matches and horseracing are all popular time-wasters in and around the city.

For a good leg stretch, climb to the top of the 1,086-metre Table Mountain and catch your breath while taking in the superb city vistas. For a less vigorous alternative, you could always catch the cable car to the top.
