    Cape Town

    With its majestic Table Mountain backdrop, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the
    world. A harmonious blend of architectural styles reflects the tastes of the past as well as today's
    more functional requirements. Between the high-rise office blocks, Edwardian and Victorian
    buildings have been meticulously preserved, and many outstanding examples of Cape Dutch
    architecture are found. Narrow, cobblestone streets and the strongly Islamic presence of the Bo-
    Kaap enhance the cosmopolitan ambiance of the city.

    Cape Town's shopping options invite you to endlessly browse. Elegant malls such as the Victoria
    Wharf at the V&A Waterfront, antique shops, craft markets, flea markets and art galleries abound.
    Specialist boutiques offer an enticing array of unusual items not readily obtainable elsewhere. One
    of Cape Town's biggest tourist attractions, the Waterfront, evokes images of the early activities of
    the harbour. Much of its charm lies in the fact that this busy commercial harbour is set in the midst
    of a huge entertainment venue with pubs, restaurants, shops, craft markets, theatres and movies.

    Table Mountain is undeniably the biggest tourist attraction in South Africa, drawing local
    holidaymakers as well as tourists from the four corners of the globe. The summit can be reached by
    trails or cable-car, but mountaineers do it the hard way. On a clear day, the spectacular views from
    the summit (1086 m above sea level) stretch across the mountainous spine of the Cape Peninsula
    and beyond Table Bay and Robben Island.

    Robben Island, which lies about 11 kilometres north of Cape Town, has over the years become
    synonymous with the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. It was here that activists such as Nelson
    Mandela and Walter Sisulu, among many others, were imprisoned because of their opposition to
    apartheid. The historical importance of Robben Island (meaning 'Seal Island') can be gauged by its
    designation as a cultural heritage site.

    Stretching away from Table Bay Harbour, the Atlantic seafront features virgin beaches along
    undeveloped frontages to the north, and densely populated Sea Point to the south, leading on to the
    Clifton, Camps Bay and Llandudno beauty spots, among others. The western coastline is
    characterised by rocky outcrops and beautiful beaches. Major national and international windsurfing
    competitions are held at Bloubergstrand. Seal watching is an amusing diversion. Boat trips around
    the harbour and along the coast are always popular.
