Three Days in Cape Town

As you apporoach Cape Town by boat, the first thing you'll see in the far-off distance is Table Mountain. The level plateau, flanked by steep cliffs, forms a dramatic backdrop to the city sprawling out beneath it. If you're lucky, light

clouds will float gently on the top, giving the impression that a tablecloth has been laid for a giant's banquet.

Table Mountain is Cape Town's most popular and iconic tourist attraction. At 1,086 meters above sea level, it will be scenic climb if you're feeling energetic. Most tourists, however, prefer to be carried up in the cable cars. Once you've arrived, the magnificent views of the city and Table Bay will make you feel like you're standing on top of the world.

After your descent into the city, it's time to get an understanding of Cape Town's history with a visit to the Castle of Good Hope.Built by Dutch settlers in 1666 to protect this strategic city from the British, the castle is South Africa's oldest building. The signal cannon still fires at noon every day, serving as a reminder of the castle's significance.

You can end off the day with a trip to the V&A Waterfront. Go shark diving at the Two Oceans Aquarium and learn about shipwrecks at the Martime Mesume. There are also a wide variety of designer shops and craft stalls offering the shop-till-you-drop experience. And when it's time to relax, nothing beats a cruise in the harbor with a cool cocktail and a deep red sunnet.

Robben Island will give you a glimpse into South Africa's dark history. Situated 12 km from the mainland, it was a place of exile and imprisonment for 400 years. During the apartheid years, political prisoners like Nelson Mandela spent decades in brutal isolation.

After your lockup on the island, go for a refreshing dip in the sparkling blue waters can be a bit chilly. To the east lies False Bay. You'll find the waters there much warmer, and it is also more popular with surfers because of the bigger waves.

Wine tasting is set aside for your third day. The Stellenbosch wine route offers world-class cellars nestled in fertile green valleys. Stellenbosch, a sleepy town steeped in South African tradition, is the heart of the country's wine industry. You'll taste not only great wine but also friendly and relaxed South African way of life.

Cape Town breathes clean and cool mountain air while basking in the African sun. It's a city that will slow you down as you're gently calmed by the rhythms of the sea. Here you can write your worries in the sand and then sit back and watch the lapping waves wash them away.
