Cape Town has so many attractions and fun things to see that it's not possible to list them all here. Following are just a few interesting options.
Table Mountain Hike
5821 Tafelberg RoadAlthough relatively short (2-3hr round trip), this hike is not to be underestimated. Some rock-scrambling and half-way up you have the option to scale metal ladders and climbing chains - or you can take a slightly longer route round).
