Cape Town owes much of its heritage and modern development to Table Mountain - one of the most visited and photographed mountains in the world. Flanked by Devil's Peak and Lion's Head, Table Mountain watches over the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans as tourists and locals ascend and descend the mountain - either by foot or by cable car - on every day that the sun chooses to shine down upon it. No visit to Cape Town is complete without a trip to the top of Table Mountain.

We invite you to discover the experience... live, work, shop and play at the V&A Waterfront.

For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, 12 kilometres from Cape Town, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society. During the apartheid years Robben Island became internationally known for its institutional brutality. The duty of those who ran the Island and its prison was to isolate opponents of apartheid and to crush their morale. Some freedom fighters spent more than a quarter of a century in prison for their beliefs. Those imprisoned on the Island succeeded on a psychological and political level in turning a prison 'hell-hole' into a symbol of freedom and personal liberation. Robben Island came to symbolise, not only for South Africa and the African continent, but also for the entire world, the triumph of the human spirit over enormous hardship and adversity.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is world-renowned for the beauty and diversity of the Cape flora it displays and for the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens have been around since 1913, and have the rare characteristic of being home to indigenous plants only. Take a stroll along one of the many lush garden pathways and enjoy the fresh Cape air while you plan your trip to Cape Point.

The Mother City has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and something to offer everyone. It is no surprise that South Africa was one of the first countries outside of Europe to earn blue flag status for some of her beaches. There are three on offer in and around Cape Town, so if you're a sand-and-sea lover, be sure to take some time out to relax and soak up the sun. The blend of 2 oceans (the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean) and hence 2 different styles of beach, divided by a 1000m high peninsula, leaves Cape Town an unrivalled holiday destination. From the family beaches on the False Bay coastline to the trendy Clifton beaches on the Atlantic Seaboard - you're sure to find a stretch of sand that suits your fancy.
