Cape Town
About the area
Referred to locally as the “Mother City,” Cape Town is the kind of coastal destination you’ll never want to leave. The scenery is spectacular, with two oceans merging at its picturesque beaches, and a majestic mountain that stands tall and proud as it watches over the city’s inhabitants. Here you’ll find some of the most unique cuisine, a thriving arts scene, hiking, shopping, and many exciting neighbourhoods to explore.
