Cape Town

EnglishZAR R3 walks

The Mother City of South Africa, cupped between the sea and the sheer wall of Table Mountain, and one of the most beautiful cities on earth. It began as a Dutch East India Company refreshment station in sixteen fifty-two and grew into a layered port town: the oak-lined Company's Garden and the star-shaped Castle of Good Hope at its heart, the painted lanes of the Bo-Kaap climbing Signal Hill, and a working harbour that still looks out to Robben Island. Read the old city and the waterfront at your own pace, beneath the mountain.
