The energy of Cape Town "The Mother City" welcomes you with open arms.. As soon as you get off the plane and drive past the waterfront and see the towering Table Mountain you feel the energy of this amazing city.
With the full colour spectrum of the rainbow you will not want to leave Cape Town. Whether you want to shop, party or soak up the sun at Clifton Beach one thing is for sure, Cape Town is ideal for all travellers to explore.
There are hundreds of things to do while in Cape Town but my top 5 picks include:
1) Explore Table Mountain - Take the speedy cable car to the top of the Table mountain and enjoy the 360 degree views. Remember to take a jacket as it can often be fresh at 1,065m above sea level. Be early to avoid the rush and allow plenty of time to enjoy the fresh air and spectacular views.
2) Shop till you drop at the world famous V & A Waterfront- If you are looking for brands or African arts and crafts the Waterfront has it all. If you don't want to shop there are plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy the music and local atmosphere., one of my favourites is Den Anker with its direct views of Table Mountain and fine wines.
3) Robben Island - This is a journey you will never forget. Leaving from the waterfront you will board an old ferry taking you to Robin Island where Nelson Mandela spent 18 yeas of his 27 years in prison. Bring your tissues as this is a very moving experience and takes around 4 hours including the scenic ferry ride.
4) Take on the Peak - It is a must to explore Chapmans Peak and the best way to do is is by motor bike, if you don't want to drive yourself you can hire a driver for a competitive rate. Here you will ride behind the driver and feel the freedom with your hair blowing in the breeze and sea mist on your face, holding on tight as you take on another bend with amazing views. Take your camera as there are plenty of opportunities to take a selfie.
5) Wine Anyone? While in Cape Town you have to see the Winelands. Just 1 hour away the most popular are Stellenbosch and Franschhoek with the latter being one of my favourites in South Africa. This french-influenced town has it all; from world class wine and great food, to amazing views and even a chocolate shop.
Cape Town really has it all, from the coast to the mountains with friendly people. This is a city everyone in the world should explore. It's possible to do it in 3 days but 2 weeks is even better and to top it off, it's cheap for Aussie travellers with the exchange rate being 10 Rand to 1 AUD.
ENJOY !
