With Table Mountain as the city’s famous official New7Wonders of Nature backdrop, Cape Town has always been rich in history.
There is plenty to do in the city and peninsula. Whether it is a ride to see Table Mountain, or the scenic views of the peninsula and enjoying safari tours and cape winelands. Cape Town surely deserves being named the best place to visit in the world by the American New York times, and the British Daily Telegraph in 2014. That is why I took it upon myself, to create a list.
