Table Mountain, wine estates, and penguins — Cape Town is among the world's most dramatically situated cities.
Cape Town is in many people's view the world's most beautiful city — Table Mountain rises directly from the sea, the meeting point of two oceans is at Cape Point, and the Boulders colony of African penguins is the continent's most endearing sight. Winelands wine region is an hour's drive, Kruger is at the other end of the country, but the city itself is already a perfect destination.
