Things to do in Cape Town

There are loads of great things to do in Cape Town, a wonderfully vibrant city in South Africa, no matter what you enjoy getting up to while you’re on holiday. With beautiful scenery, a fascinating culture, and plenty of wildlife, you won’t be bored for a moment during your holiday here.

See Table Mountain

The instantly recognisable Table Mountain is an absolute must-visit during your time in Cape Town, regardless of whether you are on an active holiday or not. Those looking to hike have the choice of three routes, and you can give abseiling a go too!

Alternatively, take a cable car to the top and enjoy the amazing views of Cape Town, the national park, and Table Bay before admiring panoramic views of the city when you reach the top. Table Mountain has welcomed over 25 million visitors since it opened as a tourist attraction in 1929, so it really can’t be missed!

Relax on the beaches

Due to its location where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet, Cape Town is home to a variety of beaches that are both beautiful and relaxing. If you fancy seeing some sea life while you’re here, head to Boulders Beach where you can see Jackass penguins, book a whale watching tour to see the Southern Right and Humpback whales, or test your nerve and try shark diving!

However, you can just relax in the sun if all of this sounds a bit too adventurous!

Visit wine country

Some of the best wine in the world is produced in South Africa, so taking a trip outside of Cape Town to visit the wine country is a must for wine-lovers. You’ll be treated to amazing views as you try different wines, and the food is delicious too!

With 18 official wine routes to choose from, you can spend as long as you like trying all that these vineyards have to offer.
