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 as not only does the weather play a role, but your mood on the day also. The time of the year also influences what I'll be doing or where I'll be going.Kirstenbosch is a huge favourite and you must visit during different seasons. You are in a city but it does not feel like it at Kirstenbosch. Cape Point is another favourite. The drive to Cape Point alone makes this a worthwhile way to spend a day. Sometimes though I want the hustle and bustle around me and that is when we go the the V&A Waterfront. I usually browse for a the first half of the visit whereafter I find a spot to do some people-watching. :-) But if you have to force me to make a choice, it will probably be the Cape Winelands. And it is not just about the wine, there is just sooooo.. much to see and do! I am sure that you will find something that will interest you on the list of Cape Town Attractions below. Enjoy!!!
