Cape Town is considered one of South Africa’s most striking cities. Its surroundings boast beautiful beaches, sleepy fishing villages and historic towns. The Winelands and the famous Garden Route provide the visitor with almost limitless photo opportunities, but perhaps the best view of the city is from the 1087-metre summit of Table Mountain - its most famous landmark.

Cape Town is an interesting mix of architectural styles, reflecting the influences of those who have contributed to its development - there are Victorian and Edwardian buildings, mosques, malls and markets.
