The V&A Waterfront harbour with Table Mountain behind

City Bowl & Atlantic Seaboard

Cape Town

The Mother City

Table Mountain above, two oceans around, and centuries of stories in between. Most of our journeys begin here.

Hike Table Mountain or ride the cable car for the view, wander the V&A Waterfront, or cross to Robben Island, where the story of South Africa's struggle for freedom still resonates.

Browse the craft and curio stalls of Greenmarket Square, walk the painted streets of the Bo-Kaap, and find the food and art scenes of neighbourhoods like Woodstock.

And when the city has had its turn, the fynbos slopes of Table Mountain National Park, the beaches of Camps Bay and the Winelands are all close by.
