About Cape Town

Cape Town sits beneath Table Mountain at the meeting point of the Atlantic and False Bay coastlines, a setting that has shaped it since it was founded in 1652 as a Dutch East India Company resupply station on the sea route to Asia. It is South Africa's legislative capital, home to Parliament, and its oldest city, with a layered history visible in the Bo-Kaap's colourful houses, the Castle of Good Hope, and Robben Island just offshore in Table Bay. The wider region anchors South Africa's wine industry, with the Cape Winelands beginning almost at the city's edge, and the V&A Waterfront and harbour reflect its continuing role as a working port. Cape Town's mix of mountain, ocean and vineyard has also made it one of Africa's biggest draws for tourism and film production.

Cape Town keeps its interactive attractions running, with couples and groups booking the 2handsy Experience : Fun Thing To Do In Cape Town For Couples, Families, Friends, Singles & Team Building at Montebello Design Centre. At Norval Foundation in Steenberg, the Wild Life - Brett Murray exhibition continues to draw art visitors, and dancers gather every week for Mojo Salsa Sundays at Mojo Market. Comedy lovers have a standing date with Comedy on Kloof - Tuesday Night Comedy Show at Vortex, while on the water The Two Oceans Aquarium: The Waterfront Duck Co Tours: July - September 2026 offers a scenic amphibious tour of the harbour. From art and comedy to dance and duck boats, the city's calendar stays packed through spring.
