Cape Town, South Africa — Overview
You can't fail to be blown away by Cape Town: gorgeous beaches, dramatic vineyards, a stylish center plus that astonishing flat-topped mountain plonked smack bang in the middle add up to jaw-dropping glory. While Cape Town is one of the world's most beautiful cities, it's also among the most easily manageable. Although the suburbs now sprawl outwards, most tourist attractions are clustered close together. You can't walk far without stumbling across colorful African crafts, eclectic restaurants, fascinating museums and world-class hotels. Endowed with such cosmopolitan chic, Cape Town's facelift following the 2010 World Cup will undoubtedly only serve to enhance its appeal. New hotels, restaurants and clubs are springing up in the city, although you may be just tempted to bask in the African sun and admire the views instead.
