About Ciudad del Cabo

Ciudad del Cabo se extiende entre la Montaña de la Mesa y el mar: playas, viñedos, pingüinos e historia cerca del extremo suroeste de África.

La cima plana de la Montaña de la Mesa se cierne sobre todo, accesible en teleférico o por senderos, flanqueada por Lion's Head y Signal Hill. Debajo, el V&A Waterfront bulle en torno al puerto en activo, y desde allí salen barcos a Robben Island, donde Nelson Mandela estuvo preso dieciocho años. Las casas de colores del Bo-Kaap suben por las laderas sobre el centro y el Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Ciudad del Cabo: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
