The Best Places to Visit in Cape Town

Combining the best of a modern cosmopolitan world, and the scenic beauty of surrounding natural elements including the majestic Table Mountains - one of the new 7 Wonders of the World, Cape Town offers a unique vacation experience in every corner. Appealing not just to solo travellers, but also families and couples, the city offers everything from historic sites to art centres and picturesque landscapes.

Here are some of the best places to visit in Cape Town.

Table Mountain

The iconic Table Mountain is perhaps one of the most significant places to visit in Cape Town. Characterized by a flat hill overlooking the city, the landmark is recognized as one of the seven new Wonders of the World and offers unparalleled views of the region. Home to over 1500 species of flora and fauna, the place is also a popular spot for exciting hikes. You can also choose to take a cable car ride up to the Cape Peninsula Botanical Gardens where you can enjoy more views of the peninsular region. Because it makes up a large part of the landscapes of the Mother City, it is indeed one of the best places to visit in Cape Town.

Boulders Beach

Boulders Beach, an hour away from the city centre, is best known for sightings of disciplined flocks of penguins flapping about on the shores. Nestled in the coasts of Simon’s Town, the place is home to an inhabitation of over 2000 African penguins. Tourists typically fly to the destination just to watch the cute creatures in action. In addition to the penguins, the beach boasts stunning natural beauty of its own with its glistening white sands, colossal boulders, and rocks against which the blue waters lash ever-so-meditatively every once in a while. Whether you are looking to have a peaceful time away from the bustle of the city, or meet penguins up close, the Boulders Beach is one of the best places to visit in Cape Town.

Bo Kaap

Bo Kaap is one of the most vividly colourful and popular places in Cape Town, not just because of its aesthetic features but also because it was the area in town where freed slaves began to settle after their emancipation. Characterized by low-roof colourfully painted houses displaying a blend of Georgian and Cape Dutch architecture, cobblestone streets, and creative wall paintings, Bo Kaap, meaning “Upper Cape” was also the place where visitors came to learn more about the lifestyle and culture of Cape Malays or slaves bought from South Asian countries. It is believed that the houses in the region were originally white, but after the rule was lifted, the owners painted their houses in bright colours to celebrate their freedom. Just for its heartwarming stories, Bo Kaap is one of the best places to visit in Cape Town.

Robben Island

Famously known as the place of banishment, Robben Island is a destination that hides dark stories steeped in African history. In addition to being a place where social outcasts were forcefully shipped off to in the past, it was also home to prisons where freedom fighters who once spent their lives dedicated to fighting for the independence of their country were put. Because of its fate as a place for declared-unworthy human beings, every corner of the island screams cruelty, brutality, and widespread discrimination which were prevalent during the apartheid times. A treasure trove for history lovers, Robben Island is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in Cape Town.

Groot Constantia

Groot Constantia is one of the most popular destinations in the city owing to its distinct Cape Dutch architectural style. Once Simon Van Der Stel’s manor house, the place is now converted into a museum, boasting rich wine cellar tours including of its original Cloete Cellar, tastings, displays of old carriages, storage vessels, and more. Set in lush green surroundings, the building also has an orientation centre where you can learn more about Groot Constantia’s history, and the restored homestead. Whether you wish to know more about the historical significance of the building, or simply admire the displays, it is one of the best places to visit in Cape Town.

With rich itineraries covering all that you need to plan and enjoy a full-blown trip to the Mother City, our packages are designed to offer the ultimate holiday to the bustling South African gem.

The Best Time to Visit Cape Town

The best time to visit Cape Town is during the shoulder seasons, typically running from March to May and September to November. During these months the city attracts pleasant weather with mild temperatures and fewer tourists, making it comfortable and optimal for sightseeing and exploring. You may also get great deals on flight bookings and accommodation.

The only con is that you may have to encounter occasional rainfall in some places. However, being prepared can make it less of a challenge.

The summer season between December and February is also considered the best time to visit Cape Town because of the warm sunny weather and vibrant nightlife. If you are looking to enjoy some time out on the beach or doing water activities, then summer is probably the best time for your Cape Town trip.
