About Città del Capo

Città del Capo si distende tra la Table Mountain e il mare: spiagge, vigneti, pinguini e storia vicino all'estremità sud-occidentale dell'Africa.

La cima piatta della Table Mountain incombe su tutto, raggiungibile in funivia o con sentieri escursionistici, affiancata da Lion's Head e Signal Hill. Più in basso, il V&A Waterfront brulica attorno al porto operativo, e da lì partono le barche per Robben Island, dove Nelson Mandela fu detenuto per diciotto anni. Le case colorate del Bo-Kaap salgono sui pendii sopra il centro e il Company's Garden.
