About Kaapstad

Kaapstad ligt tussen de Tafelberg en de zee: een opvallende stad van stranden, wijngaarden, pinguïns en geschiedenis bij de zuidwestpunt van Afrika.

De platte top van de Tafelberg torent boven alles uit, te bereiken met de kabelbaan of via wandelpaden, met de Lion's Head en Signal Hill aan weerszijden. Beneden bruist de V&A Waterfront rond de werkende haven, en vanaf daar vertrekken boten naar Robbeneiland, waar Nelson Mandela achttien jaar gevangen zat. De kleurrijke huizen van Bo-Kaap klimmen tegen de hellingen boven het stadscentrum en de Company's Garden.

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