Table Mountain

Just south of the city center, Table Mountain dominates Cape Town and is undoubtedly the most identifiable feature in the area. The mountain, which received its name due to its distinctive flat top, is the most well-known sight in Table Mountain National Park (which encompasses other top attractions like Boulders Beach and the Cape of Good Hope). The summit of the mountain is typically covered by a layer of clouds known as the "tablecloth," but when they part, tourists can take in breathtaking views of Cape Town and the entire Cape Peninsula. It may be chilly and windy at the top, so bring a sweater.

Table Mountain can be experienced in a variety of ways. Adventuresome visitors can go up one of the mountain's many trails to reach the peak, though the region's changeable weather can make such a trip into an unpleasant, muddy stroll. Recent visitors strongly advise switching to the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway. The 360-degree rotation of these suspended cable cars provides passengers with breathtaking views of the city and the ocean. Try ordering tickets online to avoid standing in line as well. Hike or drive up Signal Hill or Lion's Head for breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the ideal vantage point to capture this iconic landmark; both provide breathtaking vistas from their tops.

You are not need to pay entrance fee to enter Table Mountain, in contrast to other parts of the park. But, a trip on the aerial cableway will cost you 175 ZAR ($22.50 USD) or 92 ZAR (about $12 USD) one way. Daily operations of the cable cars begin at 8 or 8:30 a.m., but season-specific closing times apply. Visit the South African National Parks website to find out more information on Table Mountain. This is considered as one of the Best Places to Visit in Cape Town.
