Cap Town. There is nowhere like Cape Town. Perched between the ocean and the mountain, with a national park as its heart, its a place to renew and reconnect. The beautiful seaside city of Cape Town lies at the foot of flat-topped Table Mountain, its known as the "Mother City" and is the oldest city in South Africa and has a cultural heritage spanning more than 300 years. Great views of the city can be had by taking the cable car ride to the top of the mountain, but be sure to do so on a cloud free day. The place to be seen is the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront - a unique shopping and holiday experience on a scenic working harbour, here you will find free entertainment, shops, museums, an aquarium, trendy bars and restaurants.
