About Kapstaden

Kapstaden breder ut sig mellan Taffelberget och havet, en slående stad av stränder, vingårdar, pingviner och historia nära Afrikas sydvästra spets.

Taffelbergets platta topp höjer sig över allt, nåbar med linbana eller vandringsleder, med Lion's Head och Signal Hill på flankerna. Nedanför sjuder V&A Waterfront kring den fungerande hamnen, och därifrån lämnar båtar för Robben Island, där Nelson Mandela hölls fången i arton år. Bo-Kaaps färgglada hus klättrar uppför sluttningarna ovanför stadens centrum och Company's Garden.
