TRAVEL TO CAPE TOWN

Cape Town is South Africa’s Mother City and captivates visitors with its unique location at the southern tip of the continent. Between the mighty Table Mountain and the blue waters of Table Bay lies this modern, cosmopolitan metropolis with its charming main streets, beautiful buildings and exquisite shops. In recent years, the city has become one of the most popular holiday destinations in the southern hemisphere. There is no shortage of sights in and around Cape Town: a visit to Table Mountain, shopping at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront or on bustling Long Street, a stroll through the picturesque Malay quarter of Bo-Kaap, a visit to Robben Island, Camps Bay with its beach vibe and an excursion to the Cape of Good Hope are all definite ‘musts’.

The picturesque Winelands lie around an hour from the city. They are ideal for anyone who wants to explore the area by hire car, but there are also day trips from Cape Town. For wine lovers, a night in one of the pretty little towns of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek or Paarl is well worthwhile. The glorious landscape is shaped by pine and oak forests, fertile valleys, picturesque villages and rugged mountains rising to 1500 metres, crossed by breathtaking mountain passes. The wine estates are also regarded as the birthplace of Cape Dutch architecture, which you can admire on many estates during a guided tour with wine tasting.
