Cape Town Appeal
From incredible food to colorful architecture, from stunning mountain views to gorgeous beaches, Cape Town attractions appeal to a wide range of visitors, making it one of South Africa’s premiere destinations.
Everyone from backpackers to the rich and famous are drawn to this city sandwiched between the Table Mountains and the sparkling South Atlantic. Accommodations range from high end Cape Town five star hotels to budget hostels and special lodging for the backpack crowd. Shoppers can chose from street vendors and open markets to designer boutiques and modern malls.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find an incredible range of landscapes and recreational activities to enjoy. The lush flora and fauna of the mountains contrast with the exotic marine life in the tidal pools. Surfing, swimming, sailing, and diving are all popular ocean sports while hiking, cycling, and rock climbing can be found on dry land.
The city has much to offer cultural tourists. The architecture reflects the colorful history of the city and there are countless galleries and museums showcasing the arts and crafts through the eras. Music, dance, theater, and other performing arts are important to South Africans, with events such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival drawing thousands every year.
Some of the more popular attractions for tourists are the Castle of Good hope and the Rhodes Memorial. Nature lovers will want to explore the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the Koeberg Nature Reserve, and Table Mountain National Park. And those seeking a more modern city experience will want to spend time exploring the shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront.
Don’t forget to sample the wonderful food! Located on a natural cape, Cape Town offers incredibly fresh seafood as well as locally produced meats and vegetables. The region is famous for its vineyards, many of which include restaurants and offer tours. So be sure to try a few local vintages as well.
