7 days in Cape Town Itinerary

Sweeping beaches, towering hilltops, and picturesque vineyards adorn the landscape of Cape Town, dominated by the imposing Table Mountain.

Visit Robben Island Museum and Groot Constantia for their historical value. You'll get in some beach time at Bloubergstrand Beach and Fish Hoek Beach. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Cape Town: Franschhoek (Lynx Wine, Eikehof, &more) and Stellenbosch (Stark-Conde Wines, Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, &more). There's lots more to do: do a tasting at Buitenverwachting, get the adrenaline pumping with Hi5 Paragliding, glide peacefully along the water with Surf Emporium, and examine the collection at The Springbok Experience Rugby Museum.
