Cape Town is known for its charming sunsets. Although there are plenty of spots where one can sit and enjoy the sunset, a champagne cruise is the best way to watch the day go out in style. We’re talking about making yourself at home on a luxury boat and sipping on some bubbles as the sun sets over gorgeous oceanic views and the majestic Table Mountain. Sounds like heaven on earth, right?
- Let’s take it back to the beach
Cape Town is home to some of the country’s most pristine beaches. Allow the grains of warm sand to tickle your toes as you enjoy some refreshing ice cream and admire gorgeous ocean views. Muizenberg Beach is famous for its colourful beach houses and if you’re up for it, you can brave the icy Atlantic waters. If you’d like to satisfy yourself with the sight of penguins, Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town is your go-to!
- Quench your curiosity at Cape Museums
If you’re big on history then you can’t go wrong in Cape Town. From Nelson Mandela’s tiny cell on Robben Island to the colourful and interesting Bo-Kaap, there is plenty to learn about and explore. The District Six Museum provides a guided and informative tour where you can learn about the forced removals which took place during apartheid, while the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa has some of the best installations by talented local and international artists.
