Then, of course, there is the world famous Table Mountain to visit as well. At 1,085m in the air it’s something that can be seen from many points within the city, but to get the best experience possible why not try abseiling or taking the cable car to the top?

Hermanus on the Western Cape

Below Cape Town on the southwestern coast is the town of Hermanus. It’s a much smaller settlement, but that doesn’t mean it should be missed from your list.

In fact, it is well worth a visit because it’s an amazing place to go whale watching. There’s even a museum dedicated to the activity, and don’t forget the stunning beaches like Grotto Beach and Walker Bay too.
