Holidays to Cape Town
“...The most stately thing, the fairest Cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth” is how Sir Francis Drake described the Cape of Good Hope in 1580. Today many things may have changed but Cape Town, set between the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the craggy heights of Table Mountain, is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

What to do in Cape Town

There’s loads to see and do in Cape Town - the hop-on hop-off buses are a great way to make the most of your time. The city centre is the historic centre of things and neighbourhoods close by are full of colour, while the V&A Waterfront development is today’s centre for visitors, with it’s restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Allow time to visit moving Robben Island, and take a day to explore the nearby Cape Peninsula. Our top tip - if the weather is good and Table Mountain is cloud-free, head straight up it as the weather can change quickly!
