Cape Town and Cape Region

Cape Town and Cape Region

A most cordial welcome in the heartland of South Africa! In and around Cape Town, visitors from all over the world will be able to collect unforgettable impressions. And of course, the starting point is the South African metropolis, Cape Town. 
The city of 1.2 million inhabitants offers an urban lifestyle amidst a flowering and rough nature. At the foot of Table Mountain, young people find their own scene and business people find booming branches - and you will be sure to find the first highlight of your holiday!

Without ever having left the town, you will catch a glimpse on the overwhelming nature in South Africa when overlooking the trendy sandy beaches at the foot of the "Twelve Apostles" and the noble mansions on the cliffs.
In the Cape Region around the city, your journey will start into incredibly diversified sceneries that only exist here. Going north to south, you should plan for a drive through Chapman's Peak during your holiday: The ten kilometre distance is seen as the most beautifully located road in the world. Very often is is selected as a background for film and TV shots. Besides, in the West Coast National Park with the Langebaan Lagoon in its centre, you will also find a backdrop suitable for films. "Pleasure" is the focus of the places Fish Hoek and Hout Bay: either the pleasure of relaxation in white sandy beaches or culinary pleasure with fresh specialities of fish, lobster and snoek. Adventure and fun, on the other hand, can be found at „Boulders Beach": The African Penguins live here. They will waddle towards you to greet you, and perhaps they will allow you to join them when swimming in the water!
On your trip through the Cape Region, the next highlight is not far away: the Cape of Good Hope, shrouded in legends, the most south westerly point of the African continent. You should pause at the stiff cliff and allow yourself to dream. For example, you could listen to the mysterious sailor stories that are supposed to have happened here. Nature, history, and adventure meet in Cape Town and in the Cape Region: City life amidst wild landscapes, the political transformations since Apartheid and the ravishingly beautiful contrasts of the animal and flower kingdoms of South Africa. Start your adventure! This is only the beginning of all the wonderful experiences that South Africa has in store for you.
