14 Best Things to Do in Cape Town

"No trip to Cape Town is complete without the half-day Cape Peninsula drive, heading to the southwesternmost point of the African continent. This is where European ships rounded Africa en route to the east, and thanks to the rocky shores and temperamental waters, many never made it past. It's now a nature reserve, where you can go on hikes, climb up to the lighthouse at Cape Point, and pose with a sign at the Cape of Good Hope. Along the way, you'll likely spot some animals by the side of the road." - Sarah Khan

Absolutely breathtaking! 🌊 The Cape of Good Hope is a must-visit — stunning ocean views, dramatic cliffs, and the fresh sea breeze make it unforgettable. The scenery feels like something out of a postcard, even on a cloudy day. Highly recommend bringing a camera and just soaking in the natural beauty!

We loved our visit to the Cape of Good Hope. The landscape is rugged and wild in the best way. You can do short hikes, take photos at the famous sign, or just sit and enjoy the ocean crashing below. It’s part of the Table Mountain National Park, and the area is well maintained. Try to go early to beat the crowds

Cape of Good Hope is seriously one of the most breathtaking places I’ve been to. The view from the top is amazing — you really feel like you’re standing at the edge of the world with the waves crashing below. It’s a bit of a hike to get up there, and pretty steep in parts, but so worth it. Just a heads-up — it’s super windy up there, so hold onto your hat (literally)! The whole park is massive and the scenery is stunning everywhere you look. We even saw some wildlife like baboons and ostriches along the way. Definitely a must-see if you’re in Cape Town!

The stunning natural beauty of the Cape of Good Hope, nestled in Cape Town, South Africa, is truly breathtaking. Towering cliffs rise dramatically from the azure ocean, while vibrant wildflowers blanket the landscape in a riot of colors during spring. The air is filled with the invigorating scent of saltwater and the sound of waves crashing against the rocky shores. Majestic views stretch for miles, offering glimpses of diverse wildlife, including playful baboons and an array of seabirds. This iconic destination seamlessly blends dramatic scenery with a sense of tranquility, making it a must-visit for nature lovers and adventurers alike. 🇿🇦

Cape of Good Hope is near Simon’s Town just around 25 minutes and need to buy tickets. In low season, you don’t need to make the reservation for access. A great place to visit you will see Atlantic and India two oceans. Amazing place 🥰🥰
