About Cidade do Cabo

A Cidade do Cabo estende-se entre a Montanha da Mesa e o mar: praias, vinhas, pinguins e história perto da ponta sudoeste de África.

O cume plano da Montanha da Mesa paira sobre tudo, acessível de teleférico ou por trilhos, ladeado por Lion's Head e Signal Hill. Em baixo, a V&A Waterfront fervilha em torno do porto em atividade, e dali partem barcos para Robben Island, onde Nelson Mandela esteve preso durante dezoito anos. As casas coloridas do Bo-Kaap sobem pelas encostas acima do centro e do Company's Garden.
