With Cape Town's spectacular setting, cosmopolitan vibe and African roots, this city has a certain special something for even the most blase traveller.
While Cape Town manages to combine First World flair with a palpable Third World energy, its striking natural beauty is truly staggering to behold: with the Atlantic on its doorstep, Table Mountain overseeing goings-on in the City Bowl, and the majestic Winelands, there is much to occupy any level of outdoor enthusiast.
