Table Mountain is the centrepiece of the Table Mountain National Park. Covering only 17,000 ha, this small area supports some 2,285 plant species of which at least 90 are found only on the Peninsula, and is part of the Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site.

If you have a good map, and you really do know what you’re doing in the wilds, it’s a good hike from the cable car to Kirstenbosch or vice versa. It’s really great to do this on a Sunday in summer, when you can walk down into Kirstenbosch and enjoy the open air sunset concert. Organise someone to drive the car round and bring a picnic.

Lying west of the industrial Duncan Dock, the V&A Waterfront is Cape Town’s original Victorian harbour. Before its construction the Cape of Storms was notorious for wrecking ships during ferocious winter spells. In 1860 a very young Prince Alfred ceremoniously dumped the first load of stone to begin work on the Breakwater and 1869 the twin basin dock was completed.

Renovated period buildings, imitation Victorian malls, piers and a busy harbour coexist with an astonishing collection of pubs, clubs, eateries, museums and outdoor theatres set against the panoramic view of Table Mountain.

The star of the show is the two-level Victoria Wharf, crammed with an array of shops, cinemas, kiosks and stalls. It houses a diverse variety of restaurants, ranging from sushi bars, coffee shops, take-out joints and upmarket venues, the most popular being the outdoor ones where you can enjoy the vistas created by harbour lights and the surreal lit Table Mountain.

Read more about this fascinating place and find out about hotels at the waterfront so you can plan your next holiday in a town overflowing with rich culture and history.
