There’s always something new to learn.
Cape Town isn’t just a coastal escape — it’s a heartbeat. Framed by the legendary Table Mountain and kissed by two oceans, the city pulses with contrast and color. Here, you’ll walk through centuries of history on cobblestone streets, then watch the sun melt into the Atlantic from a beachside café. It’s a place where cultures collide — from Xhosa rhythms and Dutch architecture to Malay spices dancing in the streets of Bo-Kaap.
Whether you’re hiking above the clouds or diving into the local food scene, Cape Town’s allure is undeniable: wild, refined, resilient, and beautifully complex.
Let’s see what we discover.
Things you didn’t know about Cape Town.
5. Cape Town is home to the oldest building in South Africa.
The Castle of Good Hope, built in the 1600s by the Dutch East India Company, still stands strong as a fortress and historical museum.
4. You can visit two oceans in one day.
Thanks to its geography, Cape Town touches both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and you can explore both shores within an hour’s drive.
3. Table Mountain has more plant species than the British Isles.
Despite its size, the iconic flat-topped mountain boasts over 2,200 plant species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
2. Robben Island once housed more than just Mandela.
The infamous prison also held anti-apartheid activists like Walter Sisulu and Govan Mbeki — key figures in South Africa’s journey to freedom.
1. Penguins waddle through a suburb.
Just outside the city, Boulders Beach is home to a colony of African penguins who roam freely through the nearby neighborhood — a surreal sight with a local twist.
