| Cape Town |
Cape Town is a port city on South Africa’s southwest coast, on a peninsula beneath the Imposing Table Mountain. Slowly rotating cable cars climb to the mountain’s flat top, from which there are sweeping views of the city, the busy harbor and boats heading for Robben Island, the notorious prison that once held Nelson Mandela, which is now a living museum. The real question here is what you can’t do in Cape Town. This is a city brimming with adventure, culture, and culinary arts. Here are some places where you should visit in Cape Town.
