5. The Cape of Good Hope, a historical landmark , is renowned for its role in maritime exploration and trade. Initially named the "Cape of Storms" by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488 due to its treacherous weather, it was later renamed by King John II of Portugal to reflect the optimism surrounding the potential sea route to the East. The Cape eventually became a significant waypoint for ships traveling between Europe and Asia, and its strategic location led to the construction of lighthouses, including the one at Cape Point. This is the Most South-Western Point of the African Continent.

   30 min

6. In 1859 the first lighthouse was completed, it still stands at 238 metres above sea-level on the highest section of the peak and is now used as the centralised monitoring point for all the lighthouses on the coast of South Africa. Access to this historical building is by an exhilarating three-minute ride in the wheelchair-accessible Flying Dutchman funicular that transfers you from the lower station at 127 metres above sea-level, to the upper station.

About Cape Town

Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.

Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
