About Cape Town

Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa - Mother City of Africa, and the Western Cape, an area which is regarded as one of the most beautiful regions in the world. The City is a rare cultural gem, resulting from the amalgamation of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers, the local Bushman and Hottentot tribes and the Bantu tribes from the north.

Proudly conscious of itself, yet always subtle, Cape Town is both exhiliratingly modern and humble, even down-to-earth. It's a place where old and new harmoniously converge - in history, architecture, cultural pursuits and the essence of its people.

Warmed by the African sun, the city is dominated by a towering, table-shaped mountain, set on a peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys, where two oceans converge - Indian and Atlantic. Immense natural beauty, and the fast pace and bright lights of a great urban centre meld effortlessly here. Firmly positioned on the international map, Cape Town offers a myriad things to do and places to see, whatever your tastes, inclinations or budget. (via www.cape-town.org)
