Considered the gateway to Africa, the beautiful city of Cape Town is situated at the foot of the majestic Table Mountain. With its myriad exciting activities and spectacular scenery, Cape Town is very popular with international travelers.

Cape Town is dotted with monuments commemorating the city's eventful history. The Castle of Good Hope, the old Slave quarters, the many museums and the Company's Gardens which started out as Jan van Riebeeck's vegetable patch in the 1650s, to name a few.
