Cape Town is a city which boasts a diverse range of attractions, sights and activities to see and enjoy. From the landmark beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay to the award winning wine farms of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, time spent in Cape Town can be as laid back or exciting as you like.
Cape Town offers some of the best beaches in the world so if you are a sand and sea lover make sure you get a trip to the beach organised. Clifton Beach is one of Cape Town's most popular and is made up of four coves.
Camps Bay is a long sandy beach and is generally more family friendly as it is bigger thus has more space for games and fun.
Thirdly, if you travel a little further along the coastline you will come across picturesque Llandudno beach, by far one of the most beautiful, with white sand, tropical blue water and spectacular sunsets.
Away from the beach there is lots more to do. The wild and rugged Table Mountain rests in the very centre of Cape Town and merits a visit. Take a trip on the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway to gain a bird's eye view of this flora coated natural wonder. There are also hiking trails if you are feeling spritely.
For the slightly more adventurous a trip can be taken over Table Mountain in a British fighter jet! This is a truly unique travel adventure that can be talked about for years to come.
The Stellenbosch Wine Route is another holiday activity with a difference. The oldest wine route in South Africa boasts breathtaking vistas and majestic mountain backdrops.
For lovers of the outdoors the Kirstenbosch National Botanic Gardens make an enjoyable stop. Founded in 1913, the gardens are world-renowned for the beauty of their flora and forest. Covering 528 hectares and set against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain these certainly are botanical gardens with a difference.
Table Mountain National Park is another hotspot. A natural World Heritage Site and spanning 22,100 hectares you can stand at the most south-westerly point of Africa, hunt for shipwrecks or simply marvel at one of the highest sea cliffs in the world which stands 249 metres above sea level.
There are plenty of things to see indoors too. The South African Museum and Planetarium is perfect for children and adults alike. South Africa's oldest museum has excellent ethnographic displays, with displays on traditional medicine and some excellent examples of African.
The Bo-Kaap Museum offers something slightly different. Situated in the Bo-Kaap District this is an interesting Muslim neighbourhood and museum to visit.
If you are booking flights to Cape Town you may find you need to change at Johannesburg or depending on where you are coming from you may be able to catch a direct flight. Cape Town International Airport is located just 20km east of the city centre. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
