Cape Town
– fun, sun and adventure

Cape Town offers a wealth of lively cultural attractions and outdoor pursuits. Spoilt for choice the visitor's biggest problem is choosing between the city's countless restaurants, cafés, theatres and museums

Collections from antiquity, Dutch baroque architecture, fine museums crowned with modern skyscrapers, busy pedestrian streets and beautiful parks vie for your attention. You can safely explore the city on your own. In the bustling harbour area the shops and amusements of The Waterfront encourage pleasant strolls in the sun.

Mandela´s prison
A few sea miles out on the Atlantic lies the flat, wind-swept Robben Island, the former penal colony and a stark reminder of a darker era in South African history.

A guided tour of the townships, where life is lived by the less privileged black majority, gives occasion for reflection. The broad smiles of the children contrasting sharply with their humble surroundings. Quality of life can be many things.

A day on the beach, on the fairways or...
Cape Town offers countless activities within comparatively short distances. Enjoy the beach at Camps Bay or Clifton. Take to the greens on spacious golf courses on the Indian Ocean. Go hiking in Cape Town’s majestic mountains or visit idyllic Winelands.

Tour the Cape of Good Hope
A must, of course, is a delightful drive, either behind the wheel or on an organised tour, to the Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean, each battering incessantly against its own shore of the narrow isthmus.

Cape Town, quite rightly, is one the world’s most popular holiday destinations.
