Where is Cape Town?

Cape Town

Cape Town is situated not far from the southern-most tip of South Africa. It lies on Table Bay, with the majestic Table Mountain as its backdrop. A cable-car can take the visitor to the top, above the cliffs some 1,000m high, to the 3km long plateau. Here, the view over Cape Town and Table Bay is spectacular. The cliffs attract many rock-climbers to the area and well documented climbing routes provide for them.

Not far from Cape Town lies ‘Cape Agulhas’. Here, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. There is often a misconception that the ‘Cape of Good Hope’ is the meeting point.

The ‘Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden’ is also worth a visit if in Cape Town. It’s world-renowned for the diversity of indigenous plant to South Africa. Its magnificent setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain adds to the value of the visit.

An invaluable guide book ‘Insight City Guide Cape Town’ in paperback for easy packing.
