Cape Town tourism attractions
Explore the Cape Town tourism scene with its
breath-taking attraction and sightseeing options
The essence of the Cape Town tourism scene is
that one can't think of Cape Town and its surroundings and not visualize the awesome iconic mass of
Table Mountain looming over one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
It forms a spectacular backdrop to the city's endless variety of attractions, which include its
unique Cape Floral Kingdom, pearly white beaches, vibrant multi-racial culture and rich history.<.p>
Enjoy the Cape's charming fishing villages and numerous adventure activities next to some of the
world's largest shopping malls and the most fantastic scenery you have ever seen, and many more.
Cape Town offers an incredible variety of entertainment with great nightclubs, bars, pubs,
fantastic restaurants and wonderful theatres.
Long street for instance is one of the places to go for some phenomenal nightlife, starting with
cocktails, enjoying a delicious dinner, exploring a variety of bars and pubs and then dancing the
rest of the night away, all in one street.
It will take you at least a week to explore and cover just the top
attractions in and around Cape Town, such as for example the following:
