Introducing Cape Town


The city of Cape Town is nestled between two oceans and enjoys some of the most dramatic natural landscapes in the world. After starting your exploration of the city with a climb up Table Mountain, travel over to the Cape of Good Hope and visit the infamous Robben Island, where you'll learn about Nelson Mandela and his compatriots’ struggle for freedom. The city's museums are sure to enthrall you, and there's no better place to start than the South African National Gallery. Of course there's the city's picturesque parks to enjoy and some fantastic cuisine to try too.
