14 Best Things to Do in Cape Town

"The neighbor to the much more formidable Table Mountain, Lion's Head is no shrinking violet: The striking conical spire adds a distinctive quirk to Cape Town's skyline. While many like to hike both, Lion's Head is a much quicker and easier climb, and the trail wraps around on its way to the top, which means your view is constantly changing—just what you need to keep you energized when you start to feel winded. And best of all, Table Mountain makes up part of your view." - Sarah Khan
