24 days in Cape Town Itinerary

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

Popular historic sites such as Robben Island Museum and Phillipskop Mountain Reserve are in your itinerary. Escape the urban bustle at Grotto Beach and Boulders Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Cape Town: Hermanus (Kwaaiwater, Shark Diving, & more), Stony Point Penguin Colony (in Betty's Bay) and West Coast National Park (in West Coast National Park). Dedicate the 14th (Fri) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's still lots to do: take some stellar pictures from Cape of Good Hope, enjoy the sand and surf at Kraalbaai Beach/Lagoon, go for a stroll along the water at Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, and take in nature's colorful creations at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.
