Cape Town Tours & Holidays: Explore the City Tours

 Cape Town Tours
The Company Gardens in Cape Town - a quiet spot in the middle of this lively city   A trip up Table Mountain in the Cable Car is a great way to explore the city from high up   The city streets of Cape Town are full of culture and colour

For a relatively small city, tucked under a mountain, Cape Town has a great deal to see and discover.

The Castle, built by the earliest colonialists, still stands in the centre of modern Cape Town, as does the original Dutch East India vegetable garden. Now known as the Company Gardens, this is a peaceful area perfect for strolls with the squirrels and home to the National Museum and National Gallery.

Apartheid's legacy can't be ignored when exploring the city, visit the District Six museum where you learn how apartheid’s laws affected everyday lives, and Robben Island where Nelson Mandela spent many years.

The different cultures of Cape Town have seeped into the fabric of the city. Feel the community spirit in the steep cobbled streets of the Muslim area of Bo-Kaap or the vibey townships.

A drive around the Cape Peninsula will reveal beautiful vistas of the blue Atlantic, craggy fynbos-covered (Cape's unique, shrubby vegetation) mountains, and quaint cape fishing villages.

Of course, Cape Town's scenic character is dominated by Table Mountain and a trip to the top is the ultimate way to put all the city's landmarks into geographical context.
