Totally stressed out and bored senseless by everyday monotony? Escape to Cape Town or Mother City as it is called. With the FIFA World Cup round the corner, treat yourself to football fever at the Green Point stadium. Catch a cable car to the summit of Table Mountain and take in the spectacular scenery below. The fit and the adventurous may venture to climb down the Platteklip Gorge. Behold the oldest building of South Africa, Castle of Good Hope, which stands as a mute witness to colonial might.
If shopping is your weakness, rejoice! There are scores of malls to choose from with the Canal Walk, Tyger Valley, Cavendish Square, and Victoria Wharf being the most popular. There is no dearth of smaller markets and you can buy fabulous African Art at the Greenmarket Square. Do not forget to pick the lightweight locally made cheap wire sculptures.
Walking tours, boat tours, bus tours, and bicycle tours are different ways of exploring Cape Town. The city also spoils the gourmet for choice and the taste of biltong (dried raw meat) remains unforgettable. Air Tickets to Cape Town are quite cheap and the destination is best visited during the summer months of December to February.
