Welcome to
Cape Town, Mother City of
Africa, and the Western Cape, an area which is regarded as one of the
most beautiful regions in the world. The City is a rare cultural
gem, resulting from the amalgamation of Indonesian, French,
Dutch, British and German settlers, the local Bushman and Hottentot
tribes and the Bantu tribes from the north.
The impressive presence of Table Mountain,
flanked by the legendary Devil's Peak and historical Signal Hill,
stands proudly above the city. Beautiful white sandy beaches along a
peaceful coastline frame the Cape Peninsula, which is famed for its
unique floral kingdom, bountiful rivers, vleis and dams and magnificent
countryside. The surrounding area extends far into the winelands, green
in summer and red-gold in autumn.
Cape Town boasts a multitude of
entertainment, ranging from outdoor activities and adventures in the
sun to a roaring night life under neon signs. The vast range of
shopping opportunities includes haggling with shopholders at
Greenmarket Square Flea Market, as well as breezing through
sophisticated and stylish shopping malls. The huge variety of
restaurants reflects the multicultured history of the Cape and caters
for everyone's taste, from fast-food outlets and casual to the chic to
the very elegant.
Cape Town provides a setting for many scenic
wonders, magnificent seascapes and panoramic vistas. The beautiful
coastal areas of Camps Bay, Clifton, Llandudno, Bantry Bay, Hout Bay
and Blouberg surround the breathtaking tranquility of the winelands,
Constantia, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franshhoek.
Cape Town is a city of culture, built on a
history that reflects in the architecture, cuisine, music and dance.
Together with a warm summer and temperate winter climate and a friendly
community, the Western Cape and the Mother City are an ideal holiday
destination throughout the year.
