If you’re a traveler in search of off-the-beaten-path destinations with a wide variety of experiences to offer, you may want to consider Cape Town. The legislative capital of South Africa is a vibrant city with no shortage of natural and modern attractions that visitors of all types are sure to enjoy. Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or adventure seeker, Cape Town has something for you. Read on to learn more about some must-visit places. 

Table Mountain

Table Mountain National Park may be the most popular attraction in South Africa, with over 4 million visitors flocking to the park annually. We recommend taking a cable car ride to the top to soak in the panoramic views of the city, coastline, and surrounding mountains. If you’re up for a challenge, you can also hike to the summit, which generally takes about 3 to 5 hours.  

Robben Island

Robben Island is a historic site that served as a political prison during apartheid, where Nelson Mandela was famously held captive. Take a guided tour to learn about its significant role in South Africa’s history, hear stories from former prisoners, and explore the prison grounds. 

False Bay

Nature lovers and thrill seekers alike should be sure to check out False Bay by the Cape Peninsula in southwest South Africa. The bay is incredibly scenic and home to a diverse array of marine life, including over 20 types of sharks. Visitors can relax on the beach, try surfing, or, for the extremely adventurous, even sign up for a cage dive to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures firsthand.

If you’re a traveler in search of off-the-beaten-path destinations with a wide variety of experiences to offer, you may want to consider Cape Town. The legislative capital of South Africa is a vibrant city with no shortage of natural and modern attractions that visitors of all types are sure to enjoy. Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or adventure seeker, Cape Town has something for you. Read on to learn more about some must-visit places. 

Table Mountain

Table Mountain National Park may be the most popular attraction in South Africa, with over 4 million visitors flocking to the park annually. We recommend taking a cable car ride to the top to soak in the panoramic views of the city, coastline, and surrounding mountains. If you’re up for a challenge, you can also hike to the summit, which generally takes about 3 to 5 hours.  

Robben Island

Robben Island is a historic site that served as a political prison during apartheid, where Nelson Mandela was famously held captive. Take a guided tour to learn about its significant role in South Africa’s history, hear stories from former prisoners, and explore the prison grounds. 

False Bay

Nature lovers and thrill seekers alike should be sure to check out False Bay by the Cape Peninsula in southwest South Africa. The bay is incredibly scenic and home to a diverse array of marine life, including over 20 types of sharks. Visitors can relax on the beach, try surfing, or, for the extremely adventurous, even sign up for a cage dive to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures firsthand.
