1. Get a Bird’s-Eye View

Head up to Table Mountain and take in all the surrounding views of the city. The base of the mountain can be easily reached by car and you can then take the Ariel Cableway to the top. For the adventure enthusiasts, there’s also the option of hiking up.

2. Take a History LessonRobben Island that, among other things, was used as a prison to hold political activists during the Apartheid era. South Africa’s first fully democratic president Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison on the island’s maximum security penitentiary.

3. Soak Up The SunCamps Bay beach, which also holds the coveted Blue Flag and is regarded as one of the best in the world, is truly a visitor’s delight.

There is the option of taking a walk along the lively Atlantic seaboard which boasts of a Mediterranean vibe and filled with curio sellers, cafes, restaurants as well as many other specialty shops.

4. Just DriveAmong all its varied wonders, Cape Town boasts of a spectacular road that sits right between the near-vertical mountain face of Chapman Peak and the Atlantic Ocean known as the Chapman’s Peak Drive.

5. Ride the Ocean WavesNot on a surfboard but a train! The city of Cape Town and its suburbs are well connected by rail and the link between Muizenberg and Simon’s Town on the eastern side of the peninsula runs right along the ocean. See some fine views of the far horizon as the train moves along this stunning stretch of land (and sea) with the waves occasionally even beating on the windows.
