Table Mountain National Park, this dramatic backdrop with Table Mountain flat surface and “lion’s head” rock formation.

The V&A Waterfront is famously known as the place where the city meets the sea. It may be second on our list, but it is second to none. One of the best activities for tourists is a guided walking tour to learn about Cape Town’s cutting-edge culture and thrilling history. You can also cruise the harbor canals, take a diamond tour, visit the Two Oceans Aquarium, or shop and devour global cuisine to your heart’s content at the food, arts, and crafts markets. Here you will find a much better Ferris wheel than Coachella. If you book a hotel in Green Point then the V&A Waterfront will be within walking distance.
If you want to see the most vivid Instagram worthy neighborhood in the world, Bo-Keep is the place to be. Surround yourself with unique art while walking through the distinctive multicolored rows of houses along the steep cobbled roads. If you get hungry, enjoy a spicy mix of Dutch and Middle Eastern eateries that will make your taste buds dance. Learn to make some traditional Cape Malay curry during a half-day cooking course, or sip on a soothing cup of cardamom tea while visiting the largest diamond wholesalers in South Africa. Bo-Keep is the ideal hotspot to find the perfect custom-designed souvenirs for loved ones back home.
This independent seaside town provides the most unique atmosphere.
Muizenberg is a surfer’s paradise like no other to fulfill the best Cape Town attractions shortlist. Test your limits with water-sports like kitesurfing, paddle boarding, sailing, and of course, surfing. Finally, our favorite pick for every adventurer’s travel bucket list is seal snorkeling.
