Things to Do in Cape Town

Cape Town unfolds beneath Table Mountain, its cable car climbing to views over two oceans. Wander the pastel façades of the Bo-Kaap and the leafy City Bowl, then step into the District Six Museum, which keeps alive the memory of a community bulldozed under apartheid. Ferries leave the V&A Waterfront for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. On sunny days, the Atlantic Seaboard beaches at Camps Bay and Clifton fill with the whole city.
