    A must when visiting Cape Town. The views from the top of Table Mountain are unforgettable. Bring a jacket, it can get windy up there.

    You have great views from Table Mountain on Cape Town. You can either go by foot to the top or by cable car. At the top you can do smaller hikes as well. If you take the cable car, recommended to go in the afternoon as the tickets are cheaper (if the weather allows it)
  • By Valery T
    Ideal for a picnic with friends! You can also enjoy a drink or a beer on top of the mountain! We took the cableway back and forth and it was perfect! We still took our time to walk around on top of the mountain with no rush of getting down before the dawn !
