About Cape Town

Cape Town brer seg ut mellom Taffelfjellet og havet, en slående by av strender, vingårder, pingviner og historie nær Afrikas sørvestlige spiss.

Taffelfjellets flate topp ruver over alt, nådd med taubane eller turstier, med Lion's Head og Signal Hill på sidene. Nedenfor syder V&A Waterfront rundt den fungerende havnen, og herfra går båter til Robben Island, der Nelson Mandela satt fengslet i atten år. Bo-Kaaps fargerike hus klatrer oppover skråningene over sentrum og Company's Garden.

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