There are few places in the world that offer as much and are as accessible as Cape Town: spectacular nature, interesting history, incredible adventure, great food, and some of the most exciting wildlife in the world. From the City Bowl stadium to the end of Cape Point, no other city in the world has such an instantly recognizable cityscape. One only needs to look up to enjoy the magnificent Table Mountain. At 1,100 meters, it dominates the city's skyline and is the city's most famous landmark. Excursions to the mountain to admire the views from another perspective are a classic not to be missed. You can take the cable car for a pleasant ride or take one of the trails to the top. The city has a volatile and fascinating history, dating back to 1400 when the first European settlers arrived. African, Asian and European influences are ever-present, and there are many places to learn about its past and present times. One example is Robben Island, the famous prison where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years. There are also museums that explore the culture and the old days of this city and are worth a visit, such as the Iziko Slave Lodge, the Bo-Kaap Museum, and the District Six Museum, where you can see a display of memorabilia from an area torn apart by apartheid and its displaced peoples. Blouberg Beach is popular for kitesurfers and Blue Rock is popular for kneeboarding, water skiing, and wakeboarding enthusiasts. Diving with great white sharks is not for everyone, but it is sure to be one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life if you dare. Cycling and hiking are two popular pastimes in Cape Town, especially if you climb Lion's Head, where you can also go paragliding. Worried about expenses?
