BEST OF THE BEST – CAPE TOWN
Cape Town is one of South Africa's
most beautiful cities. Cape
Town is famous for its beaches, mountains and wine. There are
lots of things to do and see during your visit.
The most exciting thing to do
Cape Town sits next to the beautiful Table Mountain. Table
Mountain is 1,086 meters high and is
the most famous
mountain in South Africa. If you visit Cape Town, you must
take a cable car up to the top of the mountain. You can also go
walking around the top of the mountain.
The most frightening activity
The ocean near Cape Town is famous for sharks. On special
adventure tours you can go diving with a great white shark. This
is an experience that you will never forget!
The best shopping
For many reasons the Victoria and Albert Waterfront is
the best
and
most popular shopping centre in the city. You can find
cheap jewellery, good books and quality clothes at the shopping
centre. If you want African paintings and souvenirs, go
shopping at the Green Point Market on Sundays. There are
hundreds of little shops at the market, and some are
cheaper
than others.
The most expensive place to stay
The Cape Grace is a five-star hotel next to the sea in Cape
Town. At Cape Grace you can go swimming in the pool, relax in
the spa or read in the library. The hotel bar has more than 420
different kinds of whisky!
The most historical place
If you want to go sightseeing, you must go to Robben Island.
Robben Island was one of South Africa's
worst prisons during
apartheid. Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa,
spent 27 years in prison on Robben Island.
