Top Cape Town Attractions

I'm always asked which of the many Cape Town attractions are my favourite.

It is not an easy question to answer though. Why not?

Well for starters, the weather plays a role. On sunny and warm days you will not find me walking around in the mountains, but rather swimming in the ocean.

The time of the year also influences what I'll be doing or where I'll be going.

So I'm not going to answer the question.
Because there is just too many to single out one!
But I've given you the opportunity to decide.
Browse through the list of Cape Town Attractions below, find something that you will enjoy and do it!

Enjoy!!!
