Soak up the seaside charm of this multicultural city spread beneath the grandeur of Table Mountain.
Cape Town revels in its natural beauty — and there’s plenty to go around, with Table Mountain looming above every corner of the city and the picturesque, boulder-strewn coast stretched out at its feet — but the natural landscape is easily rivaled by the vibrant culture and lively nightlife. From galleries to seafood, South Africa’s “Mother City” punches far above its weight. Once you’ve ticked off the highlights — Cape Point, Kirstenbosch and the V&A Waterfront — dig a little deeper, from Cape Town’s colorful Bo-Kaap to the historic wine cellars of Constantia, glamorous Camps Bay and the burgeoning inner-city art scene.

Take on an Urban Adventure
Your first day is all about urban adventures in the Mother City. Start by exploring the V&A Waterfront, including the stellar Zeitz MOCAA, then hit up Bree Street or the Bo-Kaap for a choose-your-own-adventure of shopping or a further cultural fix. Wrap up your day with a sunset view of the city from a perch atop Table Mountain.
Road Trip Along the Coast
Today you’ll venture out of the city to discover the “Fairest Cape.” A picturesque route takes you past charming beach towns and endless ocean views, with a stop at Boulders Beach to see the famous penguin colony. After a late lunch and plenty more coastal overlooks, it’s back to the city for dinner.
Gardens, Grapes and Gastronomy
Wind up your long weekend with a day full of gardens, grapes and gastronomy in the Cape Winelands east of the city. Stop by Groot Constantia to learn about the illustrious 350-year legacy of winemaking in this region, then wander the region’s gardens, sample one of the best restaurants in the country — and, of course, sip your fill of local wines.
