8 days in Cape Town Itinerary

Sweeping beaches, towering hilltops, and picturesque vineyards adorn the landscape of Cape Town, dominated by the imposing Table Mountain.

When in Cape Town, make a side trip to see First South African Perfume Museum in Franschhoek, approximately Franschhoek away. There's still lots to do: take in the awesome beauty at Table Mountain National Park, explore and take pictures at Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, take in nature's colorful creations at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and head off the coast to Robben Island Museum.

For reviews, photos, and other tourist information, read our Cape Town trip planning site.

In May in Cape Town, expect temperatures between 24°C during the day and 12°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 19th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
