Things To Do
City Sightseeing Cape Town Visitor Center
Hop-on-Hop-off tours via buses and ferries. A great way to see all the major sights and attractions in the city-- the waterfront, Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, Two Oceans Aquarium, Constantia Winelands, Robben Island, Beaches, Museums, and more.
Table Mountain
Incredible vista of the whole city, as well as surrounding coastline and mountain landscape. The cable car is the best way to the top, and once you are there, you can find multiple hiking trails (all easy access and level of difficulty), as well as a place to eat. You can access the cable car via car or by the red tour buses!
Lion's Head
For a great hike and views of the city. Signal Hill is also known for being a great sunset picnic spot.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Beautiful Botanical Gardens nestled in the Newlands, one of the best in the world and a must see for any nature lover. The cafe at the entrance has some great food, snacks and drinks to have a nice lunch picnic.
The Watershed
An amazing place to shop and browse the work of unique and talented local artists and artisans, located at the waterfront next to the aquarium.
Two Oceans Aquarium
Located at the V&A Waterfront-- Very interactive, and a VERY impressive shark and ray exhibit, in my opinion! Definitely geared toward families as you might expect, but I had a blast, I think it's great for all ages.
V&A Waterfront
Short for Victoria and Albert-- Tons of shops, restaurants, and art along the oldest working harbor in the southern hemisphere, with a view of Table Mountain. Conveniently located, it is a good place to start a day of sightseeing, or a good place to find your hotel.
