Table mountain, the backdrop for the city, is breathtaking to behold. A renegade splinter of the countries famed fold mountains, it stands in the centre of the city hugging the ocean on one side and stretching out the other towards the wine vineyards.

Restaurants and café's are in huge supply in the city and surrounds. Camps Bay, a page out of the lifestyles of the rich and famous, provides an atmosphere not unlike South Beach Miami with bikini clad people spilling into the street from the trendy bars and café's that are perfectly situated for balmy sunsets and long evening walks.

Cape Town is one of the few cities in South Africa that has saved and maintained many of its old buildings. Old and new blend together to form a compact and walking friendly city centre.
