Holidays in Cape Town
The Mother City Cape Town is like a little world within a city. Host to some of the worlds' most luxurious accommodation and award-winning gourmet cuisine, Cape Town is an entertainment and cultural hub that boasts strong heritage alongside exquisite beauty.
Explore the Outdoors
Once you choose Cape Town as your next holiday destination, prepare to be spoilt. The menu of outdoor activities alone is endless. The city centre sits at the foot of the iconic Table Mountain. Take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy a glass of chardonnay whilst overlooking the Peninsula. If you enjoy a challenge, you will have fun walking up one of the many winding paths – and maybe even abseiling your way down. Alternatively, you can hike up Signal Hill and watch the sunrise, explore nature in Newlands forest or sunbathe on one of Clifton's famous beaches.
Treat yourself and embark a charter yacht, which will take you on a Cape coastline tour that includes Hout Bay harbour, Robben Island and Muizenburg. The yacht then anchors just off Camps Bay, and champagne and snacks are served.
Cape Town's history plays a key role in contributing to the city's personality. Visit the Castle of Good Hope, the Old Slaves Quarters, District Six or the rainbow-coloured houses in Bo Kaap to get a feeling for Cape Town's heritage. Visitors can easily do this by foot or by taking a tour bus.
The Finer Things in Life
Ultimately, a holiday is about relaxing and feeling rejuvenated. Some of the city's best spas are located within hotels, such as the Jiva Spa at the Taj Cape Town, which indulges its clients with five star traditional Indian wellness treatments.
The Jiva Spa is complemented by luxurious accommodation and superior service.
Cape Town Dining
While relaxing at the Taj Cape Town, be sure to sample the genuine gourmet Indian cuisine at the Bombay Brasserie. Those for whom only the best is good enough will find the exclusive cigar lounge the ideal place to enjoy a Cohiba.
Hundreds of restaurants, bars and markets accommodate all your wining and dining needs. Baia Restaurant, at the popular V&A Waterfront, is perfect for seafood connoisseurs. The Bascule Bar is known for its Friday night whisky tastings, and St Yves Beach Club, on the Camps Bay golden mile, is perfect for sundowners.
The Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock is a must. This organic food market takes place on Saturday mornings, where trendy locals and tourists get together for delectable food and live entertainment. There are also a number of antique furniture shops and clothing stores in the area.
Be Prepared
Cape Town is beautiful under almost any conditions, but its weather can be unpredictable. If you are planning an outdoor adventure, be sure to check the weather beforehand.
Be sure to take your camera with you wherever you venture so that you have a lasting memento of Cape Town's majestic diversity.
