What to do in Cape Town : Tips, places, hotels and restaurants
Parliamentary Capital of South Africa and considered as the founding city of the country, Cape Town has a population of 3.5 million if the entire agglomeration is included. Now an important tourist centre, its attractions predominantly lie in the range of sporting activities available from water sports along its coast, as well as climbing and delta-planing as well as interesting places such as the Two Oceans Aquarium and remarkable natural features such as Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope. A visit to the city centre will allow you to discover places such as the Good Hope Chateau which is a hotel in the Renaissance style, the Museum of History and Culture, Government Alley footpath lined with oaks, and the Anglican cathedral of Saint George. The renovated docks are also a pleasant place to stroll around as there is always something to see. You could also follow Chapman’s Peak Drive, a panoramic route along the peninsula towards the Cape of Good Hope, which goes through a nature reserve and overlooks the sea. From the city it is also possible to go inland and discover the wine route.
