The Southern tip of the Cape Peninsula is well worth a visit. This World Heritage site is a great place to view the local flora and fauna. Try the funicular if you fancy the view but not the walk.

Parks & Nature
Our number one "must do" when visiting Cape Town. Spend a day visiting our beautiful mountain. Take the cable car or hike up (we recommend a guide) and have a meal on top of the mountain after a walk to enjoy the breathtaking views across the peninsula.
