Cape Town

Cape Town is a modern, cosmopolitan city surrounded by nature. Centred around Table Mountain, one of the New 7 Wonders of the world, the Mother City is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning biodiversity, award-winning food and wine, and sheer variety of experiences on offer.

If cities were romances, Cape Town would be the love-at-first-sight kind: That first glimpse of Table Mountain from the sky, presiding over a gently curving coastline lapped by brilliant blue waters, is an image that leaves you instantly hooked. But there’s plenty to pull you in long after landing,  world-class restaurants, and thriving art scene, to its dazzling cultural diversity and rich, if complex, history. Each day in the Mother City will see you unearthing new details that will have you falling in love all over again.

When Time Out revealed the world’s best cities for 2024 they ranked Cape Town in second place after New York. The city is praised by many as “perhaps the most unpretentious coastal city in the world,” and the opportunities to get out into nature as well as the “top-rated restaurants, pristine wine farms and a swanky nightlife scene.” are often mentioned in reviews

Cape Town

Cape Town is a modern, cosmopolitan city surrounded by nature. Centred around Table Mountain, one of the New 7 Wonders of the world, the Mother City is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning biodiversity, award-winning food and wine, and sheer variety of experiences on offer.

If cities were romances, Cape Town would be the love-at-first-sight kind: That first glimpse of Table Mountain from the sky, presiding over a gently curving coastline lapped by brilliant blue waters, is an image that leaves you instantly hooked. But there’s plenty to pull you in long after landing,  world-class restaurants, and thriving art scene, to its dazzling cultural diversity and rich, if complex, history. Each day in the Mother City will see you unearthing new details that will have you falling in love all over again.

When Time Out revealed the world’s best cities for 2024 they ranked Cape Town in second place after New York. The city is praised by many as “perhaps the most unpretentious coastal city in the world,” and the opportunities to get out into nature as well as the “top-rated restaurants, pristine wine farms and a swanky nightlife scene.” are often mentioned in reviews
