2. As you make your way through the corridors of the prison on Robben Island, you get transported to a painful time in South African history. Standing in the jail cell that housed Nelson Mandela for so many years makes the emotional story of the South African struggle for democracy and equality hit home. A trip to Robben Island is a bittersweet experience, but it is highly recommended to anyone visiting Cape Town. The island has been reinvented many times over the years: by turns a leper colony, a colonial prison, a whaling station, an animal quarantine area and a defensive military base, this World Heritage Site’s most famous incarnation was as a political prison for anti-apartheid activists like late former president Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. When you set foot on the island, you’re able to see the cell in which Mandela, the world's most famous prisoner, was held for 18 of the 27 years he was incarcerated. It’s a place many have come to pay homage to freedom fighters

4. There is plenty of history about Table Mountain. People have been traveling to this famous South African landmark for centuries. It is known to be one of the oldest mountains in the world. And today a regular attraction for locals and tourists from all over the world, taking part in hiking and other outdoor activities. Despite, being ever changing with natural erosion and rock formation, Table Mountain is said to be over 200 million years old (with some rocks around the base estimated at 500 million years old). And it has lived through a timeless series of events that have all helped shape their way into South Africa and Cape Town’s history. It can also trace some of its roots back to the Stone Age, as findings of rock cutting tools and axes were discovered in Kirstenbosch Gardens. Before the Dutch settlers arrived, Table Mountain was home to the KhoiKhoi and San peoples, who migrated to the Cape Peninsula over 2000 years back.

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.
