Top 10 places to visit in Cape Town


Cape Town is a really beautiful city. There a re so many places to visit ; so many things to do. Here is a list of the top 10 places to visit in Cape Town:


1. Dine and shop at the V & A Waterfront and mingle with the Capetonians. Take a look at the best designer brands in Cape Town or buy some handmade South African crafts, then take a break and sip a cold drink in one of the sidewalk bars. 
2. Go on tour in the Cape winelands and experience true South African hospitality in one of the wine farms in this area. Do not miss to try the special Cape creation, the pinotage wines.

3. Watch the sunset over the ocean. The sunsets from Dolphin Beach in Blouberg give also an opportunity to take in the awesome views towards Table Mountain and the City Bowl. Click for more great sunset pictures. 
4. Swim with the African penguins at the turquoise lagoon of Boulders Beach in Simonstown or enjoy a stroll along the Indian Ocean and browse through the many antique shops in Kalk Bay. 
5. Take in the gorgeous view over Table Bay from top of the most popular Cape Town attraction, the Table Mountain . Especially recommended early morning to see the sun rise over the bay. Stunning.

6. Relax in a cafĂ© in Camps Bay and watching the locals. The sun sets spectacularly over the Atlantic. This wonderful setting at the foot of the Twelve Apostels mountain range makes Camps Bay a firm favorite not only with tourists. 
7. Visit the Gold of Africa museum or any of the other unique museums in Cape Town , like the South African National Gallery or the South African Museum with its natural history collection and adjoining Planetarium. 
8. Learn about South Africa’s history on Robben Island. Make sure to visit the exhibition at the ferry terminal before going to the island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for many years.

10. Take a stroll or hike in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens . Enjoy the colourful daisy fields in spring time i.e.September/October or see the many different kinds of fynbos and proteas in bloom in November.
