Cape Town's premier attraction, Table Mountain towers over the city, 1,086 s above sea level. There is hardly a suburb that does not have views of the majestic flat-topped monolith. The mountain's summit can be reached by numerous trails of varying levels of difficulty or by revolving cable car, weather permitting.
Enjoy spectacular views of the city and surroundings from the top of Table Mountain, whilst enjoying refreshments in the restaurant. There are also conference facilities, a souvenir shop and even a post box at the top.
A World heritage Site, Table Mountain is covered with indigenous flora encompassing some 1,470 species, including more than 500 species of erica and 100 species of iris. South Africa's national flower, the protea, is found in abundance on the slopes.
Often covered by cloud, Table Mountain looks like it is wearing a "table cloth" - a sight gazed upon in awe by tourists and much loved by the locals.
