Cape of Good Hope & Cape Point

Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point are two of the most famous and popular tourist spots in Cape Town. There is a misconception that the Cape of Good Hope is the most southern tip of Africa, which is not true, as in fact Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point. Both the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point are sections of the Table Mountain National Park, where you can see cape lions, spotted hyenas, jackals, elephants and zebras.

Bo Kaap

The colourful Bo Kaap of today is a far cry from its tumultuous beginnings -- in the 16th and 17th centuries, slaves brought from Malaysia and Indonesia by the Dutch were forced to reside here. Each house received a fresh coat of bright paint following the end of apartheid, as an act of defiance, expression of individualism and a celebration of freedom at long last.

BOS 400 Shipwreck

This rather secluded wreck is only accessible via a long trek along the coastline, but the scenic walk alone is already worth the drive to the suburb of Hout Bay in Cape Town. The ship broke loose while being towed in 1994 -- it was later deemed unsalvageable and left to rust at that very spot, gaining eerie appeal in the years since.

Best Time to Visit

Seasons are reversed in Cape Town as opposed to the Northern Hemisphere (i.e. Europe & the USA). The most popular time to visit is summer, from December to February, when prices are the highest and it's advisable to book in advance. These months are perfect for a beach holiday, and offer the hottest weather (around 22 °C). For lower prices, the shoulder seasons are also good: in March-May it's autumn, the wine season, when you can seize the opportunity to try out the best from Cape Town's wineries; in September-November it's spring, which is the perfect season for a hiking holiday, with flowers in bloom everywhere. Winter comes between June and August and is the low season, with colder temperatures (around 15 °C), but it still has something special to offer: from July to September, it is possible to admire migratory whales on the coastline.

The safest and easiest way to get around town by public transport is the Cape Town Explorer, the city’s official sightseeing bus services, which stop at all the city’s main attractions.

First bus leaves the V&A Waterfront at 9.30 and buses then leave every 45 minutes until 15.00. Public buses, privately-run minibuses and commuter trains operate in and around Cape Town but if you value your comfort, safety and security using them is not a good idea. Minibus safety standards are poor, petty theft is common on buses and trains and violent crime is not uncommon on trains. Cape Town Explorer:
