At the foot of Africa lies a city called Cape Town. It has become a well-known vacation spot over the last few years. The weather is so good that visitors are able to come here throughout the year on holiday.
A visit to Cape Town would almost be incomplete without going up Table Mountain. This natural icon rises above the city at a height of one thousand meters. It allows the visitor magnificent views of the surrounding area.
The cable car that operates between the upper and lower stations provides passengers three hundred and sixty degree views of the city below. As visitors reach the summit they are greeted by the smell of local fare emanating from the first grade restaurant that is located on top. The beauty of the naturally occurring flora and fauna enhances the tour.
There are a number of things to do and see in the city. As the climate is conducive to a year round tourism industry the magnificent beaches can be visited all the time. The natural beauty that exists is very attractive to holiday-makers.
In terms of its cultural history; the city has much to offer in its places of interest. For example, the town is filled with numerous museums that tell the story of how this part of Africa developed over the centuries. The most significant feature is the Castle that was established by the Dutch.
The city is also host to numerous cultural festivals. Among these festivals is the annual jazz festival which attracts internationally renowned artists to these shores. Besides the jazz festival the botanical gardens at Kirstenbosch has hosted many famous musicians at its annual events.
The diverse cultures and lively activities tourists are exposed to are a unique set of circumstances that adds to a phenomenal vacation destination. Visitors may arrive with some preconceived ideas and leave very open-minded. As Cape Town is situated in a floral kingdom that exists nowhere else; its attractiveness is hard to escape.
